Celtic boss Neil Lennon will not quit Parkhead in the face of loyalist threats, his agent has said.

The Lurgan-born manager has had bullets sent to him through the post

this season and, after a suspicious package addressed to him intercepted

last week, it was reported he was considering his future.

However his agent Martin Reilly said it was not in his client's nature to walk away from a role.

"He was a winner as a player and he's a winner as a manager," Reilly told BBC Scotland's Sportsound programme.

"As far as quitting as a manager goes, it's not in his nature."

Reilly claims that Lennon would not discuss his future until the end of the season.

"We will have these discussions at the end of the season, but all Neil wants to do at the moment is concentrate on his job," he said.

"He's got a contract to fight for, a six-month rolling contract, so he's got things like that to sort out in his life but he's got to put up with all this stuff off the park as well.

"He certainly hasn't spoken about quitting or walking out on the club, but I dare say it must have gone through his mind because it's certainly gone through mine."
