Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon all smiles as he celebrates his 50th birthday

Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon celebrated his 50th milestone birthday in style over the weekend.

The Parkhead icon was seen smiling as he posed in front of gold and white balloons for the big day on Friday.

Glasgow -based The Pop Up Party shared an image of the ex-midfielder as he appeared to celebrate at home.

And they were clearly thrilled to work with Neil.

Writing on Instagram, they said: “Gorgeous combo of nude, gold and soft grey marble and mini pampas cloud for Neil’s special BIG 50 birthday celebrations…was a pleasure to work on this one.”

Neil Lennon left his role as Celtic boss in February this year as the club fell well short of their bitter Glasgow rivals Rangers at the top of the Premiership table following a string of poor results.

Speaking after his departure, he said: “I have always given my best to the club and have been proud to deliver silverware to the Celtic supporters.

“The club will always be part of me. I will always be a Celtic supporter myself and I will always want the best for Celtic.”

The 50-year-old has taken on a series of punditry gigs since exiting the job.

But a return to football management could be on the cards for Neil after he was revealed to be one of the favourites for the vacant job at English Championship side Fulham.

Maybe this will put the cherry on the top of the cake for the birthday boy.
