Fraser Forster on the Neil Lennon confidence surge racing through every Celtic player

Fraser Forster insists no-one should ever doubt the quality of Neil Lennon.

The Geordie is adamant the club has the perfect gaffer to get the best out of his Celtic troops and take them forward in their quest to maintain their domestic dominance and have a run in Europe.

Lennon has been placed under the microscope since returning to replace Brendan Rodgers in February.

However, with a Treble Treble sealed and victory over Rangers at Ibrox last weekend cementing an impressive beginning to this campaign, Forster says he’s the No.1 man for the job.

The Champions League exit was a disappointment, but the rest has been almost flawless and the keeper said: “He’s just such a good man-manager.

"He installs that belief in us as players. He reaffirms how much he believes in us.

“He just gets the best out of the players. We’ve got a good squad and that’s what it’s about. Getting the best out of everyone as an individual and then collectively as a team.

“For me, he was brilliant the first time and he’s brilliant for me the second time.

“We had a fantastic record here. You can’t really argue with his record as manager when he was here. Brendan was fantastic as well, but he’s a top manager.”
