    Not a fault today, however season as a whole hasn’t been good enough.

    He has stumbled upon a team selection that seems to have a will to win, Not through his competence as a manager.

    We need a full change of approach, coaching and improving players seems to be non existent. A Celtic man doesn’t cut it anymore.

    I think the Board tried to save money by giving Lenny the job, ironic that it's probably lost the club 50 mil in CL revenue.

    By accident or design he's managed to come up with a system that has had us playing much better in recent weeks. I was worried about our defensive shape, but was also cautiosuly optimistic ahead of today. Thought the team selection and tactics were spot on, which was a nice surprise. We were unlucky not to be at least a goal ahead at HT.

    When we get a man sent off it looks like Lennon didn't have a clue how to deal with it. Subs and changed of shape hindered us rather than helped us, and we go on to concede a goal from a set piece.

    We need to end the season as strongly as possible and hope Rangers have a wee wobble that turns into something we can capitalise on. Realistically, though, we need to be planning for how we'll regain the title next season. I don't think anyone here expects, or wants Lennon to be the man in charge for that.

    Well, that’s it then.

    I will never see a shot at “10” in my remaining lifetime.

    Every single one of them at Celtic Park should hang their heads in shame.

    The board for appointing a manager and not allowing him to have his own backroom team.

    The board for not standing up for financial fair play (and numerous other regulatory issues) that have allowed a technically trading whilst insolvent clumpany to catch us and embarrass us as the animal majority in this bigoted toilet of a country stand by and laugh.

    The PR department that is headed by spineless non Celtic supporters.

    The CEO who thinks he’s Billy Big Baws and signs players without his managers consent.

    The manager who is a stubborn brat pulling stunts to highlight his hands are tied behind his back but still should get much more out of this squad.

    The manager who blindly plays players he literally name checked as not applying themselves.

    The two other stooges in the dug out.

    The aforementioned players not applying themselves. The stupid mistakes that have cost us points all over the shop. The players for not running through brick walls for us. Some of the performances have been abject and a disgrace to their profession.

    Coming back to the manager, it is patently clear to everyone apart from the CEO and defacto owner that there is a massive disconnect between the manager, his foisted upon him coaching staff and the players. The manager should be big enough to say what it is, maybe he did in August? Unfortunately when it comes down to this situation you can’t sack the players and all the staff so the manager needs replaced to see if that gees everyone up.

    The time for change was August after another pathetic European CL qualification capitulation. Beyond that you could pick any one of the shocking Europa League results as “the time for change” and finally the wholly unacceptable attempt against Ross County in the League Cup.

    A handful of glaring signs that managerial change was needed. The board are to blame for that.

    I am seething at some of the players and their lack of interest and effort. We know who they are and yet they keep their places and they continue to play with indifference, but hey! They bust a gut for Scotland.

    Neil Lennon now has the wrong punctuation mark on his association with Celtic. He has many faults, but should never have still been in this position. This falls on the board.

    Shame on them all.

    I would have as well, but we all know we should be better set than this. Spent a fortune and our options are *. Bitton shouldn't even be here anymore.

    He should go now.
    He should not have a say on any new signings in this transfer window.

    Look at that game compared to the 3-2 game at Ibrox under Rodgers albeit against a worse Huns team but 2-2 and down to 10 men in that game Rodgers makes attacking subs to win us the game, then compare it to today drawing 0-0 we go down to 10 men and Lennon brings on 2 defensive players and we lose the game, that pretty much sums the difference up

    We are brutal, scoring and defending them.

    But Lennon's already admitted they do not review games or watch them back at all.
    So not sure how anyone expects us to learn and be better when the players aren't being shown where they have went wrong.

    Judging by the training videos they tried to gee us up with last month, we don't do much actual training either, so doubt we even train on set pieces at all.

    Most times the response from Lennon is "it's something the players need to answer" which he had used more than a few times this season and seems to forget he is the manager, he needs to find the answer and he needs to educate the players on it.

    Damage was done a long time ago... the fact he’s still there clinging on with his finger tips tells its own story. Weve been complacent/negligent For years. Clear out is needed top to bottom. Handed on a silver * platter

    It’s not about money, it’s about control. Remember the rat calling them out on Shved?

    That’s probably when Lawwell decided he wanted a wee cheerleader in. They don’t want an experience knowledgeable manager with standards calling them out on their * *.

    He panicked, pure and simple, or indeed he is just a poor manager but we already knew that.

    Easy sub to make was Christie off and Elhamed on.
    No need to take Griff off, having 2 upfront is why we played well in the first half and Rangers struggled.

    Then when we needed 2 goals he put on 2 defensive players..... The guy is just inapt!

    No he won't. He kept his job, because the board didn't have a plan B and chose to double down. They've got 5 months to find plan B now. Even they can manage that.
