There’s no doubt that this is a massive season for Celtic, as the prospect of winning ten titles in a row would give them some serious bragging rights over Rangers.
They’ve had a mixed start to the year and currently find themselves 9 points behind in the league, although they do have two games in hand and can narrow that gap.
Neil Lennon will point to injuries and Covid-19 having an impact on his squad and there’s some merit to that, but a lot of the performances are looking flat and something needs to be done.
Rangers and Steven Gerrard traditionally start to stumble when the pressure increases after Christmas but it’s reasonable to suggest that Celtic could give them a huge lead if this keeps going so Neil Lennon’s job will be under question now.
His history shows that he always runs out of steam and ideas after a year or two, and the thumping home loss to Sparta Prague this evening is the final straw for these fans:
NEIL LENNON OUT !!!!! @CelticFC

It will be embarrassing if Lennon survives this

How is Lennon still Celtic manager

One of the most damning things for Neil Lennon is the fact that Twitter is full of Rangers fans who are desperate for him to stay, so that tells you all you need to know.
Wrong formation , wrong team , no confidence .
No marking , no crosses , no shots ,rubbish keepers ,
Players overrated ,defence full of slow centre half’s.
Players that should be playing are sat in the bench ,
Turnball, Griff, Nitchum
Lennon has not looked happy last 4 game . Looks spent
The real question is , who can we bring in who understands the 10? I’ll ask it again, who, who, who?
Steve Howe
The one consistent over the last few years with respect to our poor defending even prior to Neil Lennon has been our defence coach John Kennedy a former centre half. When we see his body language during last nights defeat it appeared he hadn’t a clue what to do so was Lennon comment about coaching during his after match interview a reference to him. Regardless if Lennon goes I feel the whole coaching staff need to go with him.
Lennon has continuously dragged the club down on and off the pitch in both of his tenures and time still exists for any half decent manager to turn this fiasco around. It would be a sin to hold on for the cup final, as winning that is a foregone conclusion anyhow, where his team of favourites with schoolkid tactics will still prevail. 10 in a row must be the board’s focus and parting ways with Lennon is the only way to rectify the situation, before it’s too late. Team pool v team pool Celtic have more quality than Rangers and that’s why a new manager at the helm is all that’s needed URGENTLY!!!
