    I see the Lenny apologists are out in full force today.

    Parochial idiots, that’s all they are. Small club mentality.

    I have to disagree. Although anyone with two brain cells knows that Rodgers is objectively a better manager than Lennon, going to the board and giving the middle finger doesn’t look good when a lot of his own signings were haphazard to say the least.

    As I say, far far better manager than Lennon but pretty shoddy when it came to recruitment.

    Doubt we’ll go down this route.

    Usual xenophobes will say ‘he doesn’t understand the Scottish game’ and we’ll opt for some uninspired dreck or somebody of Celtic origins. Of course, our record with foreign managers such as with Ronny will be brought up as evidence that all foreign managers are a waste of space.

    Just another sad indictment on what a parochial club we are these days.

    Any other club in Europe of a comparable size in country with a comparable domestic footballing dynamic would’ve sacked him by now after that shambles. Your Benficas, Portos, Ajaxes and what have you.

    He got everything wrong last night. Unforgivable? Maybe. He’s been found wanting tactically too many times.

    This is the way football's been going for years as you say but it's no individual or club's fault. UEFA have been bullied by the richest clubs in the biggest countries into allowing them to get it all their own way financially causing a massive divide between the richest leagues/club's and the rest. And now they also get 4 club's straight into the groups when clubs like Celtic have to play 4 qualifiers and even clubs like Ajax who reached the semi last year have to play 2 qualifiers just because they're not in a 'big' league. Football's the same as the rest of society - the rich get richer and more powerful and the rest can * off. This process won't be reversed until UEFA grow a pair and stand up to these club's/leagues and divide the wealth of European football a bit more equitably or at least give us a level playing field when it comes to qualifying for the groups.

    That’s very true, some very parochial types amongst the support. Having a “Celtic man” at the helm is great initially, but the novelty wears off very quickly if that same Celtic is completely and utterly without tactical nouse.

    Lenny has to go. Simple as that. He was found out last night, Klimala came back from the lockdown in great shape scored in the first game of the season then in our biggest game yet he is on the bench so Christie and ntcham can play in the same team. Time to go Lennon tactically unaware and to play with no strikers against a bang average team is just him being totally inept at his job. Then he blames the players. He is happy to take the credit but doesn't want to shoulder the blame. The board needs to rectify this and soon before we are pumped out the EL too. Well to be fair I think we will be if Lennon keeps his job.

    I think Eddie Howe would be a good appointment for us. That's who I would be looking at if the board stood up to be counted and did the right thing

    Well those clubs have modern, sophisticated and progressive managers and coaching setups with an intense work ethic.

    We’re coached like neanderthals, with a manager who plays * football, is tactically illiterate and allows our players to eat junk food and have undeserved days off. This kind of * was being binned by top clubs a quarter of a century ago.

    I’m not sure if it’s an indictment on just Celtic or Scottish football culture as a whole, but it really is summed up by a Luddite attitude to the game that sees our national team wallowing in * for years now.

    There’s this myth propagated by the Scottish media and Celtic fans that our clubs and Scottish football can stand on our own two feet, we can compete and that Scottish football is something to be proud of, usually by parochial twats like Stewart Cosgrove and Tom English.

    Scottish football culture is regressive. And Celtic, which prided itself on being different from the rest, is just a cheerleader for Stone Age methods and beliefs. We should be setting an example, a club achieving beyond its means, playing attacking football, having exceptionally fit players for a start (and that goes for legends like Broony too whose fitness was appalling before Rodgers told him to wisen up), and being a conveyor belt of top youth products with sophisticated and progressive coaches at the helm.

    Instead, just like the rest of Scottish football, we’re a laughing stock. And the blame lies squarely with Lennon and his neanderthal methods and Lawwell who has absolutely no vision or aspiration for this club (evidenced by actually hiring Lennon).

    A * joke, and number ten won’t solve these harsh truths either. Time to wisen the * up.

    If you look at Ajax they bring through top talents on a regular basis because they hmyoung guys have a desire to be the best they can be whereas our youth only want to be in the first team and they think they have made it when they achieve this. Look at eddy frimpong and other foreign youths we bring in they are all 3,4,5 years ahead of our youths with technical ability and where they want to be. They all want to be top class footballers Tierney is probably the only Scottish player from celtic who has came through the ranks and not settled for being in the first team but wanted to reach the very top. We need more of our own academy players to have the same attitude. Things need to change at our grass roots level because if it doesn't we will be in the same situation for the next 10,15,20 years celtic need a total revamp of our youth policy and it has to start now before it gets worse.

    The only way Lennon gets sacked is if we lose the league to the huns. Let that sink in.
