Graeme murty has said a good few times now, that hibs manager neil lennon has given him encouraging advice, as regards to it being reminiscent, to when he became the manager of celtic! I suppose it is quite similar, as lennon became the celtic caretaker manager first, after tony mowbray was sacked and then got the job permanently in what was his 1st managerial job! Our manager graeme murty is the same, ie. caretaker rangers manager after warburton and caixinha were sacked, made permanent manager until the end of the season and will surely to god be made the glasgow rangers manager, on a permanent contract, at the end of this season! So both graeme murty and neil lennon, have went down similar paths, on the road to becoming the manager's of both rangers and celtic permanently! Into the bargain, it was both their 1st jobs as manager's! Massive jobs for being their 1st jobs in management, don't you think?

Supercoop, good observation, have heard Lennon comment favourably about Murty. Specifically that like himself at Celtic the level of expectation as interim is not high and can use that to his advantage. Believe that is exactly what Murty has been doing extremely well, and his open low ego style of communication is being well received by all. Believe the challenge for Murty will be if he gets job full time next season he will be under more pressure and level of expectation will be much higher. We have not really seen him angry or disappointed yet and how he responds to adversity. Early days but I am optimistic about the Murty/ Nicol combination.

Always nice to hear lennon approves of things happening at Ibrox. He's always welcome.

The only advice I'd give Murty is don't take any advice on football management from lennon! Sir Walter will keep him right thank you.

Much as I dislike Lennon I do think he is not a bad Manager. His teams do tend to play good football and he isn’t scared of having a go at his players if they don’t perform.

Athur lennon would have a go at his granny if she forgot to sugar his tea, he is a horrible horrible man so I stick by my comment.
