Basically in a circuit there is a cell with a positive and negative end, and current flows through it - electrons are pushed by negative electrode and attracted to the positive electrode. But if say a ring rotates about its diameter and say there is an applied magnetic field and as the ring rotates, there is a flux change, so according to lenz law emf will be generated, but the ring is all connected, what part is supposed to be the positive and negative end?

The cell's job is to create an electric field that makes the "free" electrons inside a metal move. You don't need a positive and negative end in the case you describe, because the electric field created by the changing flux makes the job of keeping the electrons circulating.
