    Another fundamental reason why we are a mess right now is poor recruitment.

    Remember the screenshot going around during the summer showing our signings during the Rodgers era? It was a shambles. Hendry, Compper, Shved, Musonda, Eboue, Gamboa, Bayo and so on. Fees and wages * up the wall.

    Lennon has spent £34m I believe in the last two seasons. Our signings in 2020:

    Soro - hasn’t been given a chance therefore £2m wasted

    Klimala - done fairly well with the limited chances he’s had but for £2.5m the money could have been better spent

    Barkas - scapegoat who’s been dropped for an inferior goalkeeper

    Turnbull - looks like more money wasted - £3.5m this time. Not wasted because the kid isn’t good enough but isn’t being given the opportunity to show it

    Duffy - Massive let down. £2m loan fee down the drain.

    Ajeti - Looks a goal scorer but still looks well off the pace and we are nearly into December. Manager doesn’t play a system that suits him.

    Laxalt - the only signing that has made a real impact.

    Our recruitment policy (or lack of) is shocking. Spending £2-3M on players who clearly don’t fit into the managers plan or system. It’s a huge reason for why we have regressed as a club.

    Bringing a player into the side after signing them seems to be a skill our current and last manager struggled with.

    I think that has contributed to our current position. Yes it's a risk to bring new players into the side but not doing that long term is wasting money, talent and opportunities.

    * knows what’s going on with signings at our club. Soro is the latest in a long list of players that seemingly never had any chance of playing.

    It’s become normalised at this club that every year we should spend about £5m on players we have no intention of playing. It’s just taken for granted now.

    They’re not even signings that didn’t work out like Duffy or Gamboa or Musonda.

    They’re in a different category altogether. They’re even publicised differently by the club. Their social media feels different too, like they’re not really at the club in the same way the real players are.

    * me imagine what we could do with that money if it wasn’t just lazily * away.

    If you want to look at Celtic from a cynical ‘business first’ point of view then this is the real number 1 issue at the club. The shareholder ought to launch an investigation into it.

    He showed some glimpses of what he can do, tonight. I would like to see more of him.

    Careers stunted cause he has semi-decrepit Scott Brown playing in front of him.

    I'm sick of calling for him to be given a few games. It's laughable at this stage. My heart sinks when I check the starting line up ...."and there's Brown again".

    12 minutes in the legs in a dead rubber.

    Great use of the squad as usual from Lennon.

    Everyone can clearly see he’s exactly what we’ve been needing in midfield for months now, but no sits on the bench behind Brown and Ntcham until the end of a game when its already too far gone.

    Just * player management.

    His use of the squad - or lack of - is criminal mate. Annoys the life out of me.
