Neil Lennon brought Wanyama to East End Park

Victor Wanyama joined Dunfermline Athletic on a short term contract until the end of the season, having been recruited by Neil Lennon, his former boss Celtic. Lennon was brought in by the Pars in an attempt to stave off relegation.

Despite Victor being sent off on his debut against Scott Brown’s Ayr United, the Pars have rallied under Lennon’s leadership and have secured their objective for the season in keeping Dunfermline in the Championship.

The Fife club are currently in discussions with Victor Wanyama about extending his deal. The former Celtic pair could spearhead a push for promotion next season with a long overdue the Scottish Premiership for one of the country’s most historic clubs.
