Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon knows a thing or two about winning the Scottish Premiership having done so five times as Parkhead boss.
On Wednesday night after the Hoops secured yet another title, it was pleasing to see Brendan Rodgers ensure the 52-year-old got a rousing cheer from the travelling support at Rugby Park.
The fans and Lennon now seem to be in harmony, and the treble-winning player and manager has outlined a key point for his old team this campaign.
In every title win, some moments are looked back on at the season’s end as pivotal a la Scott Brown at Rugby Park in 2018/19 or Anthony Ralston in Dingwall during Ange Postecoglou’s first year at the helm.
Lennon reckons Adam Idah’s brace off the bench away at Motherwell in February falls into said category.
Going into the game, the champions trailed Rangers by five points. 1-0 down at the break, the Norwich loanee came on and scored twice – including one in stoppage time – to rescue a win.
“I felt the win at Motherwell when Idah scored late on (was massive)”, said Lennon (live on Sky Sports via RecordSport).
“It was in a spell where they weren’t at their best, sort of scratching out results, but they ended up winning the game 3-1.
“So that was, you know, sometimes it’s a sliding doors moment in the season just gives you that bit of a lift.”
