Ex-Celtic boss Lennon 'lands new job' in return to Scottish football at Dunfermline

Neil Lennon has completed a return to the dugout in Scottish football, according to reports.

It's thought Lennon has agreed to become Dunfermline manager.

The former Celtic and Hibernian manager is expected to succeed Michael Tidser in a bid to guide the club to Scottish Championship safety.

Dunfermline parted ways with Tidser after just 11 games with the club ninth in the league table, six points clear of bottom club Airdrieonians.

Now, PLZ Soccer claim Lennon has agreed to become Dunfermline manager.

The experienced coach had been a regular guest on the platform when he was not working in the dugout.

A club statement on Tidser's exit read: "Dunfermline Athletic can confirm the departure of Head Coach Michael Tidser.

"Assistant Head Coach Kevin McDonald, along with John McLaughlan and first team player David Wotherspoon will take training in the interim period.

"Further updates will be issued in due course."

Chairman and CEO David Cook commented: “Clearly this has been a difficult spell for the club and our supporters. We wish Michael all the best and thank him for his efforts while Head Coach.

We are now working on making an appointment to help us maintain our league status."
