Neil Lennon nears appointment as Dunfermline manager

Neil Lennon is on the verge of returning to management as Dunfermline Athletic's new head coach following the sacking of Michael Tidser. Tidser's dismissal came after just 60 days and 11 matches in charge, with the team currently facing relegation in the Championship. Lennon, who has been out of management since leaving Rapid Bucharest last year, has reportedly been offered a lucrative deal that he is close to accepting. If finalized, his first match would be against Ayr United, managed by his former Celtic teammate Scott Brown. The club's new owners are eager to make this significant appointment as they aim to avoid dropping to League One. Lennon's extensive experience in Scottish football, particularly with Celtic and Hibernian, positions him as a strong candidate to lead Dunfermline through the remaining matches of the season.
