Neil Lennon reckons John McGlynn should be “in the conversation” to become the next Celtic manager as the Dunfermline Athletic boss aims to get the better of his Falkirk counterpart in Saturday’s Scottish Cup semi-final.
As they prepare to meet at Hampden, Lennon, who had two spells in charge at Celtic, described McGlynn as “one of the best coaches in the game here”.
McGlynn, 64, has steered Falkirk to a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership, having won successive promotions to the top flight.
The former Hearts, Raith Rovers and Livingston manager worked as a first-team scout and opposition analyst at Celtic from January 2015 until September 2018.
Celtic have had three different managers in this campaign, with Martin O’Neill’s second interim period running until the end of the season.
“He’s got longevity,” said Lennon of McGlynn. “I think he should be in the conversation for the next Celtic manager as well.
