Video: Neil Lennon Fuming at Journalist After Sunday Defeat

Neil Lennon shows no signs of mellowing out away from the gold fish bowl of Glasgow after this latest press conference with current side Omonoia.

The Cypriot side were beaten 2-1 on Sunday and are 11th in the table after three games with just one win and two defeats.

The former Celtic manager was not happy when a journalist questioned the team’s backbone and ability to dig in.

The Irishman was quickly on the defensive and absolutely went in on the journalist asking the question.

Neil Lennon has never been great with the media and Celtic fans have lapped it up over the years when he’s taken someone to task. Sometimes it was deserved, but other times, Neil appeared to be pretty thin skinned.

The former Celtic manager’s media handling has never been the best. He can be very confrontational when people are just doing their jobs.

I don’t think it was any coincidence that Celtic fan media was allowed through the door AFTER Neil had left the building. Our first fan media conference came with John Kennedy as caretaker manager.

A fiery Neil Lennon can be a good thing, but it can also be a hindrance and distraction.

Looking at our current manager, Ange Postecoglou, it’s night and day the way they handle themselves in the media spotlight.

Ange can get his point across and have a go at a journalist without changing his tone of voice. Ange is clever and often makes people who ask silly questions feel silly for asking them in the first place.
