Lennon and several of his players had spoken of their disbelief that nobody from the team chasing a league and Scottish Cup double was among the top four chosen by professional footballers across the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League.PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart said: "Having counted the votes, these are the top four as far as the current managers across the SPL and SFL are concerned.The managers on the shortlist were among the five picked out for praise by Scotland manager Gordon Strachan , who also had a vote, when announcing the opening of nominations last week.It speaks volumes about the quality of managers we have in our game in Scotland and, in fact, there are a few more managers who I am sure could also lay claim to the title.Derek Adams, who has led Ross County to a top-six finish in the Dingwall club's first season in the top flight, is the only absentee from Strachan's suggestions.Lennon's Celtic have already wrapped up the SPL title, will face Hibernian in the Scottish Cup final and reached the knock-out stages of the Champions League.Rangers manager Ally McCoist, whose side won Division Three in their first season in the bottom tier, and Alan Archibald, who led Partick Thistle to the Division One title after the late-season departure of Jackie McNamara to Dundee United, also miss out.
