Favourite Game Under Neil Lennon?

Quite simply, what was your favourite match/result we achieved under the stewardship of Neil Lennon?

May be an easy decision for some, harder for others.

The obvious choice is the 2-1 home win over Barcelona and that famous Tony Watt goal.

I'm gonna go for a less obvious one though. The 6-0 away win at Rugby Park on 7th April 2012 that saw us win our first title in 4 years. Everything went right that day and the atmosphere was as good as I've ever seen

And another smaller question, what is your biggest regret under Neil Lennon? Mine is not winning the league at Ibrox in 2011/2012.

Apologies if I've forgotten any obvious games.

 

6-0 Kilmarnock, Barca game, Spartak game, the 3-0's and the 2-2 at Ibrox, 9-0 Aberdeen.

 

I think Samaras Sunday at Mos Eisley was my favourite. I really went to the pub that day expecting us to get a tanking. We came away with a 0-2 win and thoroughly deserved it. Beram Kayal had his best game in a Celtic shirt that day. I loved it.

 

Barcelona at Celtic Park hands down.

 

Barca,

Sammy Sunday

Old firm feb 2011 , that was brill

 

Toss up between all the CL nights and last OF- all of which I was at, opted for Barca though. No words to describe seeing Watt's effort fly into the net!

 

Really, really hard pick to be honest as all of them - and probably others - were monumental. I picked the Karagandy game because there was so much riding on that one with us being 2-0 down after the first leg and then playing the way we did to win 3-0 on the night and send us to the group stages once again.

So easily could have been the Barca match for very obvious reasons with us winning against them the way we did and with it being our 125th Anniversary as well, the Moscow game which sealed us getting to the last 16 of the Champions League or the bragging rights of beating the filth in the last ever Derby game.

 

If this isn't the most one sided poll in TC history I'll be amazed.

 

Last game v Rangers. Beating Barca was brilliant but we've done it before with Milan, United etc. There is only one final game against your biggest rivals and I was there to experience it first hand. An amazing day

 

The Barca game has to be number one for me. It was just unbelievable.

Then probably the 3-0 against Rangers when Hooper scored 2 and Commons got the third.

 

The last ever Celtic v them game (3-0) Brilliant day with the coffins the slagging and knowing they were *'d...

 

Barcelona at home will be the main one for most people obviously, but as well as that, all of the games against the scum in early 2011 too.

2-0 at Ibrox (Sammy Sunday), 2-2 in the cup again at Ibrox, 3-0 at home, and then 1-0 in the cup replay a couple of weeks later at Parkhead. If you remember, all of these games happened within two months.

They just couldn't handle us in Lennon's first season, minus the minor blip in the first game between the sides at Parkhead where Collum managed to award Broadfoot that penalty whilst facing in the complete opposite direction.

Honourable mentions should go to the league winning games and the trophy presentation days, as they are always special for different reasons.

As far as regrets go, I don't have many. Not winning a treble perhaps, but that is a bit harsh, as we have only won the treble a handful of times throughout our entire history. If we're talking singular games, then it has to be the 3-2 game at Ibrox in March 2012. That was an awful, awful day which started with so much promise.

 

Barca 2-1

Scum 3-0

Scum 0-2

Spartak 2-3

Sheep 9-0

 

Beating Barcelona. Everything about that night was incredible.

 

Has to be beating Barca. Humping the Rangers before they zombied was fun but from a football perspective was nothing special as we humped them many a time. Beating that Barca side was special.

 

Aye, the Barcelona game for me also, very special night.

 

Not sure how anyone could say anything other than the 125th against Barca.

 

For me it was the funeral for Rangers.. The last OF game.

Mostly just because I was there. It was a special moment. I'll never forget Chico's goal or all of the black flags.

 

The 2012/13 first game against Barca. Was over in Holland for it, watching on their tv. Being ribbed by all the Dutch before, and by the end I was almost crying when Jordi Alba scored, but so proud. I told them all I was certain that we would win in Glasgow. Such a bitter-sweet moment. First time I'd felt that proud since Larsson scored that goal against Boavista. A sucker for a nearly-do story.

Wasn't Lennon's biggest fan, but I will always remember that and associate him with it. Great time.
