Ally McCoist disputes Neil Lennon's Celtic claim as stunned Rangers hero delivers grim verdict

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Neil Lennon is in the midst of his biggest battle of his long-running Celtic tenure. The defiant Hoops boss insisted in the wake of Thursday's 4-1 Europa League thumping to Sparta Prague that he is the right man to turn things around.

McCoist admits he also has doubts over the 49-year-old's claim that Celtic 's abysmal run of two wins in nine isn't his ultimate fight of his Parkhead managerial career that has spanned two tenures and 11 years.

But the Rangers hero believes Lennon has the fighting spirit to bounce back with his team plunging into free fall on the pitch.Speaking on BT Sport, McCoist said: "Listen, that's the kind of character he is."He's never shirked an issue, on and off the pitch, in his life and he's not going to do it.
