Former Celtic defender Tosh McKinlay believes Neil Lennon would jump at the Sunderland job.
Sunderland are seeking a new manager following the dismissal of Paolo di Canio.
"I think Neil Lennon would take the job," McKinlay told talkSPORT.
"He's done a fantastic job at Celtic, he's got them into the Champions League proper again this season, despite a number of key players leaving.
"It's no wonder he's being linked with big clubs."
