Neil Lennon disagrees with Rodgers regarding John McGinn

Celtic vs Hearts

Hibernian boss Neill Lennon has told the Daily Express that he disagrees with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers regarding comments that he made about John McGinn.

The reigning Champions of Scotland Celtic blew a 2-0 lead during the weekend and ended up drawing against Hibs.

Rodgers was not particularly impressed by the performance of McGinn and said that he was dominated by Scott Brown who won the battle in midfield for Celtic.

Lennon however feels differently and thinks that Rodgers misread the game as he feels that McGinn churned out a solid performance during the game.

“I totally disagree with that,” Lennon said. “McGinn was superb, physically, his football was good.

“I don’t remember Broony dominating the game and in the last 20 minutes John got stronger when we put him back in his natural position. He was magnificent.

“Maybe Brendan sees it differently from me. I thought McGinn was a cut above.”

McGinn has been linked with a move to Celtic but Rodgers comments obviously suggest that no transfer will take place during the near future.
