    Thought we were lucky in the first half. Three at the back almost undone us. Very strange decision.

    I do think they are a better team than we have seen at this stage before.

    Decent result in the end but not a good time to experiment.

    This, and actually applying the pressing to the opponent in their half that Deila and Rodgers both promised us...

    Not strange in the slightest. We had 1 fullback who just signed and wasn’t fully fit (who played at wingback). So he went for a formation that would minimise our weaknesses and won 3-1 in the process.

    I really hope to * there is not going to be a section of Celtic supporters that didn't want Lennon appointed that are going to rip into him the minute something goes the slightest bit wrong in a desperate attempt to be proven correct. I'd like to think there aren't people within the Celtic support that are that pathetic.

    Lenny knows how to box clever in europe. No gung-ho, thinking we can go toe to toe with Barca and PSG and getting thumped consistently.

    That’s asking a bit too much these days but I think people will be won over by December

    I thought he got it right tonight. A couple of bomb scares but what's new. I'm looking forward to the season with yer man in charge.

    After the first twenty minutes or so anyway. Feared the worse early on, there was a lot of slow side ways passing, reminiscent of last season. Seemed to take them scoring for us to come out of that comfort zone and start to be more creative.

    Responded very well to going behind though.

    Defence is definitely a concern still and need some more steal in the middle, think Brown will be seeing less minutes this season.

    They've done it since he came back and they will do it until he leaves. Some refuse to give him credit. Utter children.

    Thought he made all the right calls tonight. Feeling confident of a real good season with him leading the team.

    In fairness, and I mean this as no disrespect to Lenny, but Ray Charles and Mr Magoo could see that Brendan's tactics in Europe were * stupid.

    He should be happy with his team tonight though. A professional job in difficult circumstances. There was a lot of maturity there tonight from everyone involved.

    I'd rather have Theresa May in Europe than Brendan.

    3 at the back just doesn't suit us. Hopefully when we get a good right back he'll stick with the 4.

    If this was Benitez, we would have been going overboard...Credit to Lenny.

    The Daily Express is reporting that Celtic fans are calling for Lennon to be sacked because the team conceded a goal against Sarajevo. Shut the * up!
