Neil Lennon: Celtic manager resigns with team 18 points behind Rangers

Lennon took charge for a second spell in February 2019 when Brendan Rodgers left and led the club to two titles, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup.

He said that he is sad, because they passed many good things, and he did many things to fix that, but he didn't achieve it.

The Celtic manager, said that he has worked hard to achieve something, unfortunately he couldn't.

Lennon took charge for a second spell in February 2019 when Brendan Rodgers left and led the club to two titles, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup.

However, Celtic are well behind their Glasgow rivals in their bid to win 10-straight titles and slumped to defeat at struggling Ross County on Sunday.

Assistant manager John Kennedy will take interim charge of the team.

Clarke front-runner to replace Lennon - gossip

Lennon apologises after Celtic defeat

"We have experienced a difficult season due to so many factors and it is very frustrating and disappointing that we have not been able to hit the same heights as we did previously," Lennon said.

"I have worked as hard as ever to try and turn things around, but unfortunately we have not managed to get the kind of run going that we have needed.

"I have always given my best to the club and have been proud to deliver silverware to the Celtic supporters. The club will always be part of me. I will always be a Celtic supporter myself and I will always want the best for Celtic."

'It was inevitable' - reaction

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell: "Neil has always been and will always be a true Celtic man and someone I will always hold in the highest regard. Personally, it is a sad day for me to see Neil leave. Neil is a man of quality and decency, he is someone who will always be part of the fabric of Celtic and someone who will always be welcomed."

Principal shareholder Dermot Desmond: "Neil is a Celtic legend both as a player and manager. He has given so much to the club, and with his success over the last number of years - including winning a treble in his own right - he will be very difficult to replace."

Former Celtic defender Gary Caldwell: "It was inevitable. The results just haven't been good enough and I feel for Neil because I was there as a player with him and he's given his life to Celtic. But the club had to make a decision to move forward."

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard: "I can't say I'm surprised because of what's been going on over there. But I obviously take no personal satisfaction, so I wish him well for the future."

Former Rangers manager Ally McCoist: "Hopefully he can get some sanity back in his life and go and enjoy himself and relax with his family for a period. The season for Celtic has been one disaster after another, and there are a lot of people responsible for that."

Ross County manager John Hughes: "My heart goes out to Lenny. I pay tribute to his accomplishments and success he has had. He will be hurting."

'Surprise it took this long' - analysis
BBC Scotland's sports news correspondent Chris McLaughlin
This is something we've been expected for some time, and it comes as a surprise that it hasn't happened before now, even for the man himself. The defeat at Ross County seems to have been the last straw. The Celtic board have been in talks about this over the past few days.

Lennon delivered the unprecedented quadruple treble, but he has had major struggles with the side this season and Rangers are now just seven points away from stopping Celtic making it 10 titles in a row.

The majority of the fans have been calling for him to step aside for some time now.

It will take time for the dust to settle but I would imagine in the next couple of seasons, Celtic fans will look back with fondness on Neil Lennon as both player and manager.

How did it get to this stage?

Lennon answered Celtic's call in early 2019, when Rodgers departed mid-season for Leicester City, and guided the club to their eighth league crown in a row while securing a third-straight Scottish Cup.

After Celtic beat Hearts in the final, he was offered the job on a permanent basis by Lawwell in the Hampden showers.

Last season was called early amid the coronavirus pandemic, with Celtic handsomely ahead of Rangers and crowned champions, having also defeated their rivals in the League Cup showpiece.

But this term, as the club pursued an unprecedented 10th league title in succession, things unravelled spectacularly.

Celtic were eliminated from the second round of Champions League qualifiers at home by Ferencvaros, and won just one of their six Europa League group games.

Although they won nine of their opening 10 league fixtures, they lost the first two Old Firm derbies of the term, and dropped points to Aberdeen, Hibernian, St Johnstone and Livingston.

Their incredible run of 35 domestic cup wins was ended by Ross County, who prevailed 2-0 at Celtic Park in the League Cup last 16. That led to fan protests and clashes with police outside the stadium.

Lennon oversaw more Scottish Cup success in December, as Celtic won the 2019-20 trophy on penalties despite losing a 2-0 lead against Hearts, ensuring the Northern Irishman became the first man to win a treble as player and manager, and sealed a Scottish-first quadruple treble.

But the glory was short-lived. Celtic lost at home to St Mirren in January, and despite holding games in hand, remained well shy of Rangers, who are yet to lose a league match this season.

Sunday's 1-0 loss to County, who were bottom of the table heading into the fixture, sealed Lennon's fate, with Rangers on the brink of ending their domestic supremacy.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) - President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Tuesday (Feb. 23) went to New Taipei City's Zhonghe District to visit the last registered preserver of Taiwanese indigenous facial tattoos in the country, Ipay Wilang.

When Tsai arrived at Wilang's house, she greeted the 100-year-old Seediq tribe member and wished her good health and longevity using the endearing term "Yaki," which means grandmother in the Seediq language.

According to a Presidential Office press release, Wilang proceeded to sing two hymns and make up new lyrics to the songs on the spot. She wished the president good health and thanked everyone in attendance, reciting a prayer to bless the country and its people.

For the special occasion, the Seediq woman was dressed in a traditional red-and-black dress and wore a decorative headband. She had hand-sewn the clothes herself.

The Presidential Office pointed out that Wilang is from Zhuoxi Township in Hualien County and that the Hualien County Government had registered her as a preserver of folklore and intangible cultural assets in 2016. She is also the only surviving preserver of facial tattoos in the country. In recent years, she has been resting at home due to her advanced age.

According to the press release, President Tsai expressed hope that Taiwanese will learn about the tattoo culture of the nation's indigenous peoples and help pass on indigenous culture to future generations.

Council of Indigenous Peoples Minister Icyang Parod, Minister of Culture Lee Yung-te (李永得), and others also accompanied the president on her visit.

Senegal's teenage jockey races to fame

Having won Senegal's top prize two years ago, jockey Fallou Diop, still only 19, hopes to realize his dream of racing in France next year.

According to his father, he walked 10 miles to enrol in the nearest training program.

Having won Senegal's top prize two years ago, jockey Fallou Diop, still only 19, hopes to realise his dream of racing in France next year.

"I want to be the best jockey in a country other than mine," he says.

"In Morocco or France, anywhere there is horse racing."

Zohra Bensemra, of Reuters, documented Diop's training.

Often used for agriculture and transport, horses, donkeys and mules are an integral part of daily life in Senegal.

And racing has rapidly grown into a national pastime.

"The elders taught us everything since we were young," Diop says.

"And that's how I became passionate about horses.

"Since my grandfather, we've supported horses, then my father after him."

Having already dropped out of school, Diop was 12 when he decided to leave a tailoring apprenticeship and pursue horse racing.

According to his father, he walked 10 miles to enrol in the nearest training programme.

Diop lives in a house with 12 other family members, in Niaga.

And with victory prizes of up to $600 (£426) per race, he has been able to fund a new roof for their home.

Diop and other jockeys in Niaga are taught by Adama Bao, whose family has maintained a stud farm for three generations.

"[Diop] is very gifted," Bao says.

"He could compete up to 50 years, with his weight and size."

Dressed in vibrant yellow and blue, Diop recently put his skills to the test at the racetrack in Thiès, Senegal's third largest city.

He went on to finish first in three of his five races that day, taking home nearly $1,000 (£710) in winnings.

"When I start riding, I get a bit stressed," he says.

"But after a moment, it's over.

"At the time of the race, I'm only thinking of victory."
