In September 1961 Lennox signed his first contract with Celtic Glasgow and played in the first team the following March. In 571 games for Celtic he was able to score 273 league goals, making him the seventh most successful goalscorer in the club's history.

Lennox achieved this in a 3-2 win in 1967 and contributed a goal himself.
He was inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in November 2005. In 1981 he became a Member of the Order of the British Empire .
