The former Hoops skipper, who had seven successful years at the club before leaving at the end of last season, was recruited from Wycombe this week and began his first coaching role at Lennoxtown on Friday morning.

Lennon said: "I'm going to be another voice, another opinion for the manager to listen to when he wants one."

He added: I'm here to lend a hand because I know how the club works and the players know me. We're in a difficult situation and it's now win or bust in the title race.

"But Gordon's here for the long term and I don't know why that shouldn't be the case.

"There's no reason for the club to be changed because a knee-jerk reaction would be wrong and continuity is important in football.

"My ambitions with regard to being Celtic manager are a long way off and I'm not looking beyond the eight league games between now and the end of the season.

"I missed the intensity and the dramas that come with being at a club like Celtic," Lennon added.

"I simply missed being about the club and this homecoming has left me feeling like I've never been away.

"It's still possible Celtic could win the championship, but we need to beat Rangers twice at Celtic Park to have any chance."
