Could we have a name maybe??

And the Bolton and Hibs quip is beyond silly.

Hibs as I have already pointed out he brought from the Championship to the Europa League in one season and they were one of the best teams in the SPL. He left by mutual agreement for non-footballing reasons.

Bolton, the club was a sh*t show, the club was in financial ruin and the players weren't paid for the last 6 months he was there, its not by accident that they are in the fourth tier of English football now. Lennon's biggest error here was taking the job inn the first place.

Lennon is under serious pressure and has serious questions to answer over the current form of the team, but this attempt to re-write history is laughable. A large cohort of fans didn't want Lennon back at the club and have been sitting on their hands for the last two seasons waiting for a chance to stick the knife in.

Lenny has been at the club for a total of 12 seasons and been a huge part of our most successful period ever and deserves better.

How long do you keep the faith with Lennon, untill it's too late to turn around ? He was good in his first spell but after the team Rodgers built he was a terrible replacement. And your right, he did a fantastic job with hibs untill he fell out with half the team

Lennon looks lost lately and the unexplained flat performances rest at his door. Duffy is looking awful too, I thought he'd be massively important but he needs to improve quickly.

Not sure who you could get in to replace Lenny though, Howe is an option and it might line up for him but no stand outs who are realistic at the moment.

As I said previously he is in the last chance saloon. Things are dire right now and it is very worrying but lets not get carried away we are effectively 3 points behind with 3 games against the other crowd to go. Rangers squad is paper thin, we are in our worst run of form in the last god knows how many years, Rangers are playing out of their skin with absolutely everything going their way and we are three points behind.

Wait until they hit a sticky patch or pick up a few injuries or when the level of expectency increases, they will crumble just like last season.

Too late to turn it around? With games in hand we're 3 points behind rangers, after losing the first derby against them. We're hardly marooned miles behind. Screw the Europa Lge. Get back to playing Saturday and putting pressure on Gerrards team and they'll bottle it like they do every year.

I didn't say it's too late to turn around but I hope we don't wait until it is too late.

Big game tomorrow. I'm backing Lenny and his players to get a big win with a big performance and get back on track.

This from the guy who came on the US Presidential thread with a peach of a comment when he said; "Drinking liberal tears this morning instead of coffee" :pac:

I'd be more worried for Lenny if you were backing him.

Love Lenny and want him to be the man to win the ten. He deserves it - WE’RE ALL NEIL LENNON!! But let’s not get at each other’s throats. Even Lenny would appreciate that getting the job done this season is more important than sentiment. He or the team, can’t afford to make any more mistakes.

Lenny and the team need to get their sh1t together. **** the Europa - it’s gone. The league is still very much there for us.

To echo a poster above- KEEP THE FAITH.

Hail, Hail. **** it - let it happen as it does. We need to stick together and keep supporting our team and club. Anything else is just the behavior of that other shower.

What the fcuk has this got to do with football?

RoryMac · 08-11-2020 11:17AM

Duffy & Édouard out of the starting team today, deservedly so.

This is a must win game for Lennon, needs a big reaction from the players.

Fingers crossed we'll get that and a good win

RoryMac · 08-11-2020 12:11PM

Good start and Elyounoussi puts us 1 up after excellent work by Ajeti

PauloMN · 08-11-2020 12:11PM

Moi puts Celtic 1 up after a mistake from Motherwell. Good start.

Lennon making his point firmly with team selection. Delighted to see that.

PauloMN · 08-11-2020 12:20PM

That Motherwell keeper is carrying a fair bit of weight. Genuinely not being smart but just surprised to see it these days with the diet and fitness regimes.

Chalk McHugh · 08-11-2020 12:28PM

Celtic not playing particularly well but in front whuch is the main thing.

PauloMN · 08-11-2020 12:30PM

Fantastic work for that goal from Rogic, and Moi gets his 2nd.

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-11-2020 12:30PM

What a great assist from Rogic

RoryMac · 08-11-2020 12:30PM

Another for Elyounoussi, not phoning in a performance today

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-11-2020 12:36PM

0-1

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-11-2020 12:46PM

That deserved better from Christie, what fantastic footwork from Rogic for the counter attack

Chalk McHugh · 08-11-2020 01:03PM

Failing to win this game was not an option. Looking like three points in the bag but i wouldn't be raving about it.

After the international break Celtic have six fixtures leading up to the next Old Firm game

Hibs (a)
St Jonhnstone (h)
Kilmarnock (h)
Ross Cnty (h)
Hamilton (a)
Dundee Utd (h)

With the other lot seemingly winning most matches at their ease and not looking like dropping any points Celtic really need to be winning all of these games. At worst dropping two points, and perhaps Rangers will slip up somewhere which would be a bonus.

Time for Celtic to up the gears and start brushing teams aside like their capable of. Administer a few big drubbings and sew a few seeds of doubt in minds on the other side of the city. And turn up in top form for the visit to Ibrox. All to play for.

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-11-2020 01:12PM

That should have been a sending off for a dreadful tackle on Frimpong... unbelievable that Dallas thought that only warranted a yellow

PauloMN · 08-11-2020 01:12PM

Should have been a red there. Studs high into Frimpong's leg.

PauloMN · 08-11-2020 01:33PM

Still too soft at the back, Motherwell had a spell of 20 mins or so and got a deserved goal. Next goal critical.

Chalk McHugh · 08-11-2020 01:33PM

No Duffy today and Motherwell have had 11 goal attempts and two on target. And quite a few threatening balls in the box that with a different bounce of the ball could easily have led to a goal. No way Motherwell should be having that amount of goal attempts.

US2 · 08-11-2020 01:33PM

2-1 massive pressure not to fold here now

PauloMN · 08-11-2020 01:34PM

Thank fcuk. Moi with a 3rd. That should be that.

DavidLyons_ · 08-11-2020 01:34PM

Yes Moi. Thank ****.

henke · 08-11-2020 01:35PM

Thank god for that. Needed. Good header.

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-11-2020 01:35PM

Great cross and header and now a hattrick!
