Neil Lennon to consider Hibernian future

Neil Lennon has cast doubt on his future as Hibernian manager following their loss to Edinburgh rivals Hearts.

Hibs were defeated 2-1 and need to beat Rangers by six goals if they are to finish in the Scottish Premiership top three.

“We look like we are going to finish fourth, which is unacceptable for me. I will reconsider my position now in the summer,” Lennon told reporters.

“I’ve got things to think about myself, my own personal aims and ambitions. But I can’t watch that in a derby. It’s not good enough.

“We have a board meeting next week so we’ll see. I have been here two years now and we have made great strides, but I’ve got to think about myself sometimes as well and how I feel about the whole thing.

“Maybe I am a bit over-emotional at the minute, but fourth isn’t good enough.”

Lennon joined Hibs in 2016 and led them to the Scottish Championship title in his first season in charge.
