    Rodgers' team did play a different to how Lennon likes his teams to, for sure. Both styles have their flaws, though.

    Rodgers' sides were really possession based but could be way too ponderous. We've seen that loads this year and plenty of times last year, too. I always thought Lennons sides were a little more fast and furious, not unlike Gerrards Rangers actually, but with more quality. We maybe didn't control games under Lennon like we did under Rodgers, but we handed out a fair few thrashings of 6, 7, 8 or even 9 goals when Lennon was in charge.

    I do think you need a few players that know what’s it all about. Otherwise the Huns will bully you (last game at mordor).

    But they don’t necessarily need to be Scottish. Just not shitebags!

    It's good too have most of the squad made up of Scottish. Irish, English n Welsh we are called Celtic after all so players from the Celtic nations with a couple of foreigners for the flair is best.
