Celtic boss Neil Lennon has been awarded the Ladbrokes Manager of the Month award for November after steering his side to eleven consecutive victories.
Lennon will be hoping to maintain the run of success for another few weeks into the winter break with the first silverware of the season up for grabs at Hampden on Sunday in the Betfred League Cup final as well as the final Glasgow Derby of 2019 against Rangers on the 29th December at Parkhead.
Since dropping points against Livingston and Hibernian respectively, Celtic have been unstoppable and have returned to the form that has seen them win nine consecutive domestic trophies, their never-say-die attitude no better demonstrated than with Scott Bown’s late winner against Hamilton on Wednesday.
Many fans felt that Lennon was the “cheap option” when he was brought in to replace Brendan Rodgers following his departure to Leicester but he has now shown that his side can be equally as ruthless and relentless in the pursuit for 9-in-a-row.
Has Neil Lennon surprised you with how well he has done since his return?
Yes
No
Fans of the Hoops took to Twitter to congratulate the gaffer in what they hope won’t be the only silverware he lifts this week.
My boss π! Where is the doubters now?

And a couple of fans, who are erring on the side of pessimism following the award…
Well done the boss bit I hope this isn’t a jink for Sunday ππ
