Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon knows from personal experience that it’s possible for new Rangers boss Michael Beale to overturn the champions’ nine-point and 17-goal advantage lead over them as he prepares make his debut in the Ibrox dug-out against Hibs tomorrow night.
Back in November 2011 Lennon’s Hoops team trailed Ally McCoist’s champions by FIFTEEN points and 13 goals and the Irishman admitted he feared he might receive his P45.
Yet by the end of December, Celtic had edged their way in front of their rivals and stayed there for the rest of the season.
