Lennon said: "He was in yesterday. He popped in and everyone was delighted to see him.

"He got a nice farewell from the players and it was emotional for him.

"But the players will get on with it now and that's what you do, you roll on.

"He's going to be a big miss obviously but there's an opportunity there for someone else to take on the mantle now."
