    Don’t be fooled, it’s a reflection of the quality of his coaching style & his mental nous, that he has waited till halfway through December to realise he better change personnel. Simply papering over the cracks. However, get a credible new coach in and we have a solid basis going forward. Again... don’t be suckered in... the longer Lenny is here, the more damage is done to the title hopes. HH

    Blended into the side? He has been over his injury for a while so you can’t use that excuse at all for me.

    He has been ready since the start of the season. Lennon chased him for more than a year and then when signed never played? Absolutely criminal because he wanted to play with his favourites.

    He was the best player in Scotland outside of us that season we tried to sign him first we all knew he had the quality.

    No need to acclimatise he was just coming from down the road at Motherwell.

    My point still stands for me, should have been playing long before now.

    If we are going to lose the league this season I’d rather lose it with the team last night that actually want to play for Celtic. We’ve been needing a pick me up for months and the team last night gave us that.

    Yep, was a bittersweet victory last night tbh. We got a glimpse at what we could and should have been doing all season - with every chance Lennon drops the boys who played so well come Sunday.

    We've been badly lacking Soro and Turnbull in that midfield game after game and they've been nowhere to be seen. Hopefully they proved their worth and get a run in the side.

    Great to see us turn a corner. Where are the ‘he eats loads of chips and is morbidly obese’ brigade now?

    Never in doubt.

    Yeah agree here.

    It's my fear (along with bigger issues of lack of coaching etc) that he reverts to type.

    He's all over the shop with his comments, he needs to start being held to account for them as well.

    Moaned at Clarke for playing Christie three games in a week, then proceeded to play brown for 4 in 9 days.

    I will not buy Turnbull and soro not being fit enough for Sunday, not at all. .

    He certainly won't be sacked after last night. So, I might as well hope to * he wants to clear his tarnished name. Or at least act logically, and start players that gave us a win last night.

    Literally said five minutes before kick off he wasn't looking for a catalyst.

    All over the shop

    Feels good to be looking forward to 10 in a row again. Fans, board, squad and coaching staff all completely united. Might have chips to celebrate.

    I would start the same 11 Sunday. He picked that team last night not to blood players, not for the fans, not because of any managerial or tactical nous.
    That team was picked to rest his crew for the weekend and he felt this was a dead rubber. He has no real history of developing players. In fact he tends to stick to a core of 15 or so and disregard the rest. Brown Christie Eddy Ntcham Bitton El Hamed Rogic Ajeti will all be considered for starting places ahead of Paddy Turnbull Henderson & Soro.
    He should get Soro to coach the midfielders on how to do a proper press, chap was magnificent.

    Scenes in this thread when he picks the usual suspects.

    Well I think he's done his coaching badges has he not? He's worked under a few Celtic managers so he must have picked up something? I think he has the right personality although that would have to be proved. A team could do worse than him as an assistant. I think he would launch himself into it wholeheartedly. It's just an opinion because I don't know the skillset required but if we're ticking some boxes there's the few that I would tick.

    Yeah I know Jeannie. Sorry.
    Been working on trying to take a more positive look at all things Celtic. Unfortunately my natural pessimism is getting amplified with the rut we're currently in.
    Honestly tho, I genuinely believe he reverts to form and picks the underperforming players Sunday.

    He’s got to start Turnbull and Soro Sunday. Like ppl have said nice to get the win but how has it took Lenny this long to give them a game.

    Not everyone will start but soro and Turnbull start and that transforms us. His crosses was deadly man. Easily tell chrsitie to get to * now going by that, replaced.

    That team that played last night should start in the cup final. They were the epitome of what we Celtic Supporters have come to expect of our team.
