    Shat it for not playing Boli. Signed the guy, backed him and played him in every game up until now.

    Influenced by * on Twitter and journalists who have never kicked a baw in their life.

    Played our best player out of position instead. Ridiculous stuff.

    After last nights fiasco we can say goodbye to a couple of quality signings .
    I love Lenny but I don’t think he is the guy to take the club onto the next level .

    Genuinely could kiss goodbye to the title considering Lennons Celtic team were largely bottle merchants when they were favourites.

    Even though hindsight is a wonderful thing, I was pretty surprised too as to why he would drop the guy who he's started the last 7 games prior and has shown a lot of promise. Of course his defending needs improved upon, but he has played over 100 more games at left back than what McGregor has, and at least knows how to play the left back/lm role. Have we ever seen McGregor play well on the left against somewhat decent opposition before? Watch Cluj now get pumped by Slavia Praque, will show you just how far off we are

    Have we even played that 3 at the back formation in a competitive match this season?

    Love Neil Lennon, but was always the easy and cheap option.

    If this team can't do it against Cluj at home on a European night with a full house then i dread to think what is in store at Ibrokes. Time for folk to take off their green tinted glasses.. we are not even an average team when other teams use high press.

    Was delighted when Lenny stepped in ... we were very fortunate he was available.

    The permanent appointment was a surprise and now looks like the cheap option. Majority of Sevco supporters were delighted by his appointment and if he loses at Ibrokes then i can see things going from ad to worse.

    Motherwell had us on the rack early on, and those who can't see major flaws in our team are not looking.

    The whole celtic man thing should not be a pre-requisite for the job.

    You pick the best manager celtic man or not and as usual we didn't.

    The title will be a fair old slog if this is what we have to look at during the season

    For the first time since they went bust, I do now think they have a serious chance of winning the title this season. With Rodgers in charge, never felt they had a chance. Even when it went a bit stale, no chance. Now, I'm nowhere near as confident and fearing the worst at the minute.

    Same. That last night was a big psychological hammerblow for the whole squad and those * will know it.

    I just don't understand how managers at this level and experience make such monumental * ups that are obvious to everyone but them.

    Not just a Celtic thing I just in general, how many times do you see a manager change up a winning team for a big game with the only reason for it possibly being to shock the opponent and be unpredictable. * never * works.

    And McGregor at LB really? I mean come on.

    It’s almost as if he should’ve never been offered the job standing with his chopper out in the shower.

    Judging by his comments we can forget decent players coming in now , taylor and odonnell probably the calibre that will come in!

    We will have enough to win the league, our squad is far superior, and we have blown away teams domestically so far.

    I actually hope we don’t manage the group stages of europa, it will just be an energy sapping, potential injury inducing distraction. Also * paying £80-£90 to see us pumped aff minnows.

    With decisions like last night there is a big chance he'll lose the respect of the players...if the wheels will come off in the league that's the start.
    The new players who he left out last night must be thinking to themselves *.
    Lennon way out his depth .

    Really bad day at the office and a costly one. Very disappointed with the team selection trying to keep Ntcham happy and playing our top midfielder out of position. The players were all over the place in the first half. In Mikey Johnston, we look a man down v decent opposition as well. That lad should be coming off the bench for game-time.

    I'm sure Lennon will turn things around owever and this season is all about the League.

    There was no hindsight here. Every single fan called this BEFORE a ball was kicked last night
