    I'm sorry but Lennons signing's were utter dross and is an incompetent football manager thats why he failed. £10 million spent on the Swiss Kris Boyd who he failed to utilise and a Greek traffic cone not to mention Shane Duffy an absolute disaster. He was backed more than Rodgers.

    It suppose his first stint success was down to John Park? Now, he had input from Nick Hammond. The two failures you mention were his suggestions.

    Yes I believe John Park was the cheif scout in Lennons first tenure, as you say they are suggestions which Lennon has to give the green light to.

    History books will tell us that Lennon was the best of Celtics three managers in 2021.:56:

    Lennon who had a 50% win record in 2021, Kennedy even lower at 37.5%. I'd expect Ange to better that comfortably domestically.

    Nope. Vvd, a defender was lauded as our best player in a very successful time. He stood out head and shoulder above everyone we had. He would even be our best striker when we put him up top late in games. Guy had it all. He certainly had more influence than eduard ever has.

    Joe Hart could have as much of an influence as Forster did last time around........

    You don’t think he stood out head and shoulders above in quality?

    He came onto a game first season then got injured, then had a torrid hun game and got dropped, Lennon scapegoated everyone but his mates and himself. Boli was stupid to bounce away for his hole, but tbh... yer holes yer hole.

    Michael Davitt should have a statue outside the stadium.

    I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but I don't buy into the "Celtic family" don't get me wrong I see Celtic fans as more like my countryfolk more than the Scots, as we are generally ancestrally linked via our Irish roots but Celtic family is cringy

    Weird way of putting it, Celtic fans are also ‘the Scots’ it’s a big part of why we’re even called Celtic.

    By virtue of country, we can't deny we are Irish though, or for the most part at least. But yeah the Celtic name was picked to unite both cultures
    edit
    I still feel more affinity for Celtic fans over Scottish/Irish or any other ethnicity
    Edit 2
    I'm not sure I'm making sense, I've been boozing since 12pm, so forgive me

    League wise Deilas second season was not bad, 82 points good amount of goals, getting papped out the cups and Europa was bad though. But he was not as bad as people make out.

    We also can’t deny we are Scottish mate, that’s the beauty of the club for me. I get what you’re meaning though. But I’d say Scottish/Irish Celtic fans. Lot of fans we have abroad confuse the life out of me if they haven’t grew up with it
