Motherwell hero Stephen Craigan reckons his former club should go after Neil Lennon as their new boss if he is interested, over a year on from his second Celtic boss exit.
The Northern Irishman has spent two stints in charge of the Parkhead club and won countless trophies both as a player and boss. But his last stint at Celtic has left a sour taste in the mouth of some fans after their bid for 10-in-a-row collapsed spectacularly. He is now over in Cyprus with Omonia Nicosia, who he is preparing for a Europa League play-off against Belgian side Gent.
