Lee Miller has explained why Lennon decided to represent Scotland Under-19s during the upcoming international break.
Lennon, 18, is one of the most talked about prospects in Scottish football and has already captained Motherwell at Hampden Park as well as been linked with transfers to Celtic and Rangers.
Many thought Scotland head coach Steve Clarke would give the midfielder a call-up to his squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Poland in November.

“He is enjoying playing with the 21s. Obviously, the 19s have important games coming up and he wants to play in those games.
“It was him that wanted to play in those games which I think is testament to himself.
“He just wants to play football and get as many minutes in the tank as possible. And enjoy playing with his age group that he's grown up with and playing against and with over the years. I just like to see him enjoying playing football.
“The world is his oyster. He can be the player he thinks he can be. He's confident but he's not arrogant with it, if that makes sense. He just needs to concentrate on his club football and the rest will take care of itself."

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
