(Reuters) - Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon was named as the new manager of second-tier Scottish side Hibernian on a two-year contract, the club announced in a statement on their website (www.hibernianfc.co.uk) on Wednesday.

The 44-year-old will succeed Alan Stubbs, who left the club after beating Glasgow Rangers to win the Scottish Cup last month, to manage Rotherham United.
