NEIL LENNON admitted today it is “flattering” to be linked to the vacant Scotland manager’s job.

Michael O’Neill was heavily touted to be the next boss at Hampden but pulled out of the running following talks with the Scottish Football Association.

Brendan Rodgers has suggested the SFA should be looking to Hibernian manager Lennon, who won three league titles as Celtic boss, as a potential successor to Gordon Strachan and Lennon did not rule himself out of the running.
