Neil Lennon is in the frame for the Ireland job

Neil Lennon has said that the hunt for a new Ireland manager is nearly over, with a decision expected “imminently".

While England U-21 boss Lee Carsley remains the frontrunner to replace Stephen Kenny, former Celtic manager Lennon is believed to be a back-up option for the role.
