NEIL LENNON has laughed off the conspiracy theories he manufactured his exit from Hibs in anticipation of joining Celtic not a month later.

It has been a year since the Irishman left the Easter Road club, little did he know at the time it was putting him on a trajectory to be the man to seal the treble treble.

The Celtic manager can look at it a year on and not have any regrets. He brought Hibernian back up from the Championship and had a top first season in charge of the team. It all went south during the second season in the SPFL and they parted ways.

Neil Lennon has knocked Hibernian out of a competition since then on his way to winning more trophies.

Speaking about the turn of events leading to his Celtic Park move, Neil Lennon laughed off the comments about a conspiracy.

“Oh yeah, me, Brendan and Claude Puel all got together to say you leave there, and I’ll go in there… As if that’s going to work. A good conspiracy but unfortunately not true.” Lennon told Recordsport.

There are conspiracies in Scottish football but that ain’t one of them
