Neil Lennon has been confirmed as Hibernian's new manager.

The former Celtic boss has replaced Alan Stubbs on a two-year deal. He will be assisted by Garry Parker at Easter Road. The 44-year-old Northern Irishman has been out of a job since his nightmare stint with Bolton Wanderers. Lennon parted ways with the Trotters back in March while they were rooted to the bottom of the Championship. However, prior to Bolton, Lennon was hugely successful at the helm of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, claiming three league titles and two Scottish Cups with the Hoops. The reaction to his appointment has been generally positive from Hibernian fans, who are hopeful that Lennon can return to his former glory and bring the club back to his old stomping ground of top tier Scottish football. https://twitter.com/ianleado1875/status/740663570761945089 https://twitter.com/Jay_Dot_Craig/status/740663538574823424 https://twitter.com/RyanHerity1/status/740663537874407424 https://twitter.com/CallumHiller/status/740663042267045888 SNAPCHAT
