    He was a dirty * against us for dundee. Recall a few shockers on Rogic in particular.

    Guy never hid on the pitch. Got stuck in, gave his all. No matter which team you support players with this mentality are always appreciated by the fans. Some players are not blessed with skill, natural ability etc but if they put in effort & heart most fans will accept that

    too many modern players don't have enough heart and i hope he can instil some of his passion into our young players.

    You need to have the mentality as well, if players like Adel Taarabt had that mentality then what a player you’d have.

    Don't know if you watch open goal but Charlie Austin was talking about him saying he basically lived his life in reverse. He would train in the morning then go to bed, sleep until night, get up and then go out all night and rock up to training having been out all night.

    Passionate Darren O'Dea reckons fed-up Celtic fans using stats to condemn Neil Lennon are weakening their argument in the process.


    The former Parkhead star now works as academy coach at the club and also remains a passionate supporter of the under-siege Premiership champions in the wake of their Betfred Cup nightmare.



    O'Dea has pulled no punches over recent displays but doesn't believe the current run of two wins in 10 games is reason enough for a change to made by the Celtic board.

    And while the 34-year-old admits he would never stick the boot into his current employers, he doesn't believe the time is right for Lennon to leave.

    Speaking to Go Radio, a fired-up O'Dea said: "I'm not going to lie and say I don't have any loyalty to Neil Lennon or the club.

    "I'm not going to come here, even if I thought they really needed change, and say I would shout from the rooftops, because I wouldn't. I'm going to patronise people and say I would.


    You talk about statistics, they've won two in 10 which is by Celtic's standards is unacceptable, Neil Lennon's not trying to defend that either, he's not saying they are in good form.

    "If you want to throw statistics out, they're potentially about to complete a quadruple Treble, they've lost their first domestic cup game in 35, they've won nine titles in a row.

    "Neil Lennon has been a massive part of all of that. If you want to talk about two wins in 10, how about you talk about the nine years previous to that?


    I don't really get this two in 10. No one is defending Celtic, their performances, when I say no one I mean the manager and the players.

    "They are coming out saying 'we are in a bad moment', they are asking for patience, they are asking for the backing of the Celtic support.

    "If you want to talk about statistics, they back up that Neil Lennon should still be in a job, not the other way around."

    "I don't really get this two in 10"

    Shut up ya clown.

    This history argument is the worst and most embarrassing going.

    Nonsense.

    This is the kinda pish that needs to stop him and Mcmanus were/are in charge of our youth teams what qualifies them for that position other than jobs for the bhoys. This is why we need a clear out top to bottom we are a football club not a social club

    His comments are somehow even worse than his coaching.

    This is what happens when you have a jobs for the boys strategy at the club.

    People out of their depth at every level trying to talk down to anyone who criticises any of them.

    Sick of this *. Punt the lot of these under qualified “Celtic men” fannies. Get some proper coaches in.

    Why is he talking about the last 10 years when Lennon has been gone for half of that? The best years in that spell were when Lennon wasn’t here you *.

    He's another * that can get to *. He acted like a hun at Dundee with all those shocking tackles on us, then gets comfy wee gig as a youth coach (based on what, by the way)?

    Typical really
