Neil Lennon once took Darren Bent to task after he said he'd rather play under Steven Gerrard in 2019.
That's a claim from the former England striker, who told talkSPORT all about an awkward phone call where the then Celtic boss sought to "clarify" some comments. Back then, Gerrard was only getting started at Rangers having just finished his first season in charge at Ibrox. Lennon, meanwhile, had just been handed the Celtic job on a permanent basis after taking over from Brendan Rodgers and steering the Hoops to a ninth successive Premiership title.
It was against the backdrop of that Gerrard-Lennon rivalry that Bent was asked by Football Insider who he'd rather play under. And Bent, who played with Gerrard for England, had a few choice words to say about Lennon - but was made to think twice after the Irishman was on the phone the next day asking for an explanation.
