Celtic boss Lennon fumes over Ntcham comments

Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham is in hot water with boss Neil Lennon over comments made regarding the quality of football in the Scottish Premier League.

The 23-year-old, formerly of Manchester City, revealed he had “failed to develop” at the club, also adding that the level of football in Scotland’s top division was “not high.”

Reports suggest that Celtic are struggling to hold on to the player, with Marseille the front-runners to prise him away from his current club.
