Neil Lennon Features in Bizarre Deleted Social Media Post

Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has found himself in the middle of a questionable social media jibe posted by Raith Rovers, which has since been deleted.

Lennon is the current boss of Dunfermline Athletic, who were in action against Raith Rovers in the Fife derby on Friday night.

The match was aired on BBC Scotland, with both sides looking to go top of the Championship. However, the points were shared at Stark’s Park, which was enough to see Raith move up to first on goal difference.

Dunfermline are now unbeaten in 11 league games as they seek promotion to the top flight for the first time since 2012.

The match has garnered widespread attention, but not for anything to do with the performance.

Lennon was filmed having a bit of banter with the Raith fans as he walked off the pitch at full time. The supporters didn’t take it too well, and neither did the club’s official X account.

The former Celtic star was pictured making a gesture with his hand, possibly suggesting that Raith were a small club.

In a post that’s now been taken down, the Rovers posted that photo (via @RaithRovers) of Lennon with the caption: “How big is your penis, Neil?”

The post quickly began to spread online, with the club obviously realising what they’d just done.

Deleting it has done nothing to contain the jokes directed in the Fife club’s direction.

Instead of going top of the table, this has taken centre stage on social media.

Not exactly the kind of story we’d imagine covering, but it’s another tale in the bizarre world of Scottish football.
