    Had no ill feelings when he left and still don’t. Great player for us, needed to go and test himself at a higher level and has done so. After lockdown he had looked like a established PL full back. Good luck to him!

    Drivel.

    As others have said, the problem lies with wee fannies spraying “Judas” on walls near his house.

    Obviously it’s not as serious as this example, but it’s like a Celtic fan shopping in someone at CP for shouting racist abuse. The problem is the racist *, not the person who “grassed” (did the right thing). Would you be saying “aw the guy that grassed is making us look bad”?

    And the comment about him being scared to come back up was said in quite a jokey way. I very much doubt he seriously feels like that. He’ll be nervous about it, and he has every right to be going by some of the * in our support giving it tight to him.

    He had 3 1/2 great seasons for us, won realistically everything he could here and ran himself almost into retirement. Wearing the hoops must be a phenomenal feeling, but playing agaainst the same average opposition minimum 3 times a season anywhere upto 7 has got to be tiresome.

    He'll be learning more about the game in that short time at arsenal, training and playing with the talent down there and in that league, than he'd learn here in a lifetime playing against the dross that's in this league.

    Always remeber when Stan Petrov fell out of love with us for that exact reason, even winning gets tiresome if its too easy.

    Don’t know how much of the injury stuff I believe. Ok he was injured but would Lenny and a Pistol Pete of played him if it was as serious as he made out? Felt a bit of the interview was lies tbh. Got caught rotten with the Bobo wallpaper. The move to Arsenal was fairly mixed up.

    Personally I wouldn’t walk away from ten in a row, would you? 30k a week enough for anyone especially when he had so many more years left of football.

    I didn’t say I have nothing against the threats. They were obviously wrong. Was there any real need to say it now it’s done and dusted? Been plastered all over social media today. Do I feel him greeting like a girl on the way down to London, scared to go back to parkhead and telling ppl about the threats was a cry for feel sorry for me bhoys? Absolutely. He’s made his decision, KT and Celtic move on.

    Personally don’t doubt it for a second. Everybody knew at the time he wasn’t getting a rest. We knew he was playing through injuries, albeit without knowing just how serious it was.

    Not sure why you would doubt it tbh. For the last few seasons we’ve absolutely run players into the ground because we don’t rotate the squad enough. Rogic and Tierney were constantly stop start because we played them through injuries. Felt like Forrest, McGregor and Brown barely missed a minute of football for about 3 years.

    Probably because I don’t think Lenny would play someone with a serious injury...

    The injury comments are definitely true, you could see him in physical discomfort some games when the rat was selecting him....Pittodrie springs to mind?

    The rat done that with a few players because him and his clown of a scout were so clueless at signing players, we became overly-reliant on some to carry the can.

    Why? It was his first game back and a massive game at Tynecastle. He'd have wanted his best team out on the pitch.

    Whatever you think about Tierney fabricating some stuff or exaggerating, I don't think he's the type of guy to make up a story that Neil Lennon, no doubt a hero of his, made him play through a serious injury.

    And if he has made it up, we'll find out soon because I'm sure Lennon would have a thing to say about it.

    Rodgers and Lennon did it, which is ridiculous.

    Absolutely ridiculous behaviour from a small minority, anyone that thinks a move to the EPL at his age is a bad thing is absolutely crazy. Besides that 25 million is an HUGE amount of cash for any club never mind Celtic, anyone bemoaning that really needs to get their heads checked.

    The lad played every game he possibly could for us even when not at 100%, there was games that you could see pain on his face whilst playing but again he soldiered on, some fans have short memories, KT basically bleeds green and white absolutely gutted for him receiving moronic trolling, really hope to see him back in the ground with the GB soon!

    I would say there's less culpability with Lennon as the problem was dropped on him, after the transfer window had shut and tasked as the man to see us over the line in the League and Cup.

    Lennon played him in 5 games when he came in and we were so short on cover.

    The rat ran him into the ground just like he did with Rogic, Forrest and McGregor because of his own inability to identify players.

    If he was staying at the time of the cluj game why wasn’t he tuning in ? ..... he’s pulling some Brendan Rodgers style whoppers out of the air ..... wish he just kept quiet tbh I was delighted he won the fa cup

    Perhaps less culpability, but he still shouldn't have played him if his injury was that serious. Rodgers was far worse in that respect, of course.

    It's something that really has to change. The pressure of going for the 10 makes it a more difficult decision, but we have to start rotating our squad more. It's farcical how much football so many of our players play every season, considering the size of our squad.

    Having to take injections to play is far from ideal but it's definitely not something new, by his own admission Broony has done it regularly for us.

    With the circumstances that Lennon was landed I'm not sure how much he could've done differently; we didn't have a reserve LB and our only other fit CB was Hendry so a back 3 was out the question. Once we got some daylight in the league Lennon stopped playing him.

    I think Lennon is far better at rotating our squad than the rat was. At LB we had Boli, Taylor and Hayes all playing for us in spells last season. Then at RB we had Elhamed, Frimpong and Bauer. Our injury list was awful last year which meant we relied on some players more than we would ideally like.

    Lawwell and Lennon wouldn’t have given a * about anything other than getting the title over the line.

    Pretty sure it was Slane who brought up Bobo being his hero and his wallpaper. KT said it was as well but then didn’t realise he’d changed it. Genuinely couldn’t tell someone my wallpaper without looking to see what it was.

    If there’s no threats and no Judas * then there’s no story. Pretty simple mate.

    KT has moved on. The only people who seem not to be able to move on are the grown men greeting about him.
