    My mindset has changed. We dropped more points again today, but I also saw something out on that pitch that I've never seen before from the current Celtic team. Fighting spirit. We've never been in a position under Lennon where we've had to come back from 3 goals down until today and we done it at first time of asking.

    If we can rectify the defensive mistakes (getting rid of Majstorovic and playing Rogne instead) and keep scoring goals, then I believe we can still do this. They are bound to slip up eventually and we need to make sure we capitalize when they do.

    the uglies as 1-0 up against St. Mirren too so it could be 12 points we need to catch.

    Only blind optimism would make you say no but then again Celtic are a fairy tale club and stranger things have happened.

    Would have felt a bit better if they had gone on to win today, that might have been a turning point in the season.

    St Mirren just scored in the last minute 1-1. However, doesnt change much IMO

    Well it looks like we got out of jail and we are very much in the same position as we were before kick and the position we all thought we would be in trailing the Huns by 7.sort this mess out Celtic if teams like st mirren can go to somewhere like ibrox and concede just 1 goal then surely we can ffs

    You would probably have been wise to wait until after the huns match to make this thread ;)
    I don't think it's over at all. I'm losing faith in Lenny rapidly, but we still have a chance. If we win our game in hand then the gap is 7 points, a lead which both sides have thrown away over the last 5 years. I'm hoping that the fight and determination which we showed today to grab those 3 second half goals will carry on and we'll start to see the determination and team spirit that we saw last year, starting next week. Show that sort of character next week and I think we could go on a good run of wins. If not, then sadly I think Lenny will have to go in order to bring someone else in while we still have a chance to win the league.

    We are 10 behind. Yes we have a game in hand but knowing us these days we can hardly feel that is as good as only 7 points behind.

    We have a change only if we start playing brilliantly. I just cant see that happening now under Lenny. He has been in the job for a year and a half across three seasons and I only have felt we looked a really good side for about 3 months (Jan-March) last year. If someone came in and played our players (the best in the SPL) in a way that brought out their best then yes we could pull it back. However, the only way that can happen is if we get to a stage where Rangers cant handle us and we are pasting other sides. We are miles from that now and I dont think that is much to do with player quality.
