    I have been saying all season he a shadow of his former self. He is not doing the job he is paid for to an adequate level, seen him play quite well but more and more often seen him get get over run on quite a few occassions this season.
    It's too simplistic to say support him, we support the team and therefore want the best players on the park. Many people want to see the best defensive midfielder at the club play that position, that player ain't neil Lennon.

    Lambert was captain when he and Lennon played together in a 3-5-2. when they changed to 4-4-2 Lambert was dropped. Prior to Lambert, Tom Boyd was captain and he was also dropped.

    I think it is to early to talk about a straight replacement - Keane for Lennon. I don't expect to see Keane back to full match fitness for another 2-3 weeks. The pace of the Scottish game is a surprise to alot of the players that come from the English Premier League. That said, once he is fit he has much more to offer than Lennon and would dovetail perfectly with Petrov.

    the name of the thread is

    "Rate all The Celtic Players that featured in the most recent game Thread"

    I think lennon played class when he back after his suspension but he has looked suspect the last few weeks.

    very fair, but just cause there is a replacement for lennon lined up when keano is fit, (which he isnt the now) it doesnt mean that people can completley lay in2 lennon, "always in the right place at the right time".:celt_2: petrov wasnt fit either 2day which did start to show but he carried it off well, (gav away alot thou in the second half) cant wait til he and keano r fully fit. and captain will b playing, always (this season :D)

    Lennon is old and im sure he isnt expecting to be playing every game now. Time to slowly ease his way out of the team. And maybe find another club for a year then retire.

    Well Lenny i think the bigger picture shows that we need some players in defence and that we know, but to slag our captain in such a manner by everyone is unacceptable IMO. All is not 100% and the players prepared to fight tooth and nail like lennon deserve a fighting chance.

    You could play him until he is 40 and he would still fight tooth and nail, doesn't mean he is worthy of his place. If the team is picked on merit and not sentiment I shall be happy.

    What use all about?? Keane's been here two minutes and done * all with Celtic! Wee Lenny's been here for years and has ALWAYS done us proud!!! Keane has yet to prove himself at Celtic Park. He was invisible at Clyde and gave away a silly goal today, so how can you even justify saying he can come in and take our CAPTAIN's place???? GET THE HEIDS THE GITHER

    I'll give Keane the respect when he earns it!!!

    Mon wee Lenny:celt_2:

    It's not about Keane, if he hadn't come we would still needed to replace Lennon to progress. He has been great but thats past tense. Sentiment clouding your judgement imo
