    Aye but what I'm meaning is this isn't the first game though. Tonight was a rinse and repeat of Cluj and Copenhagen add in to that Lewis Morgan up top in the league cup final it just goes to prove he refuses to learn from his mistakes

    More than likely the other way about and they'd be justified too. He's made enough of a * of it tonight without throwing another few cans of petrol on it!! Should've kept his trap shut on that side of things......this just makes him look petty and trying to deflect the blame and he knows it himself too!!!

    If you want £10m+ players rotting behind the scenes then you do you.

    i do agree, the whole 'players that dont want to be here' comment is quite lazy and an easy get out clause. I can't name one player that I thought looked like they couldnt be arsed out there tonight tbh.

    They looked nervous because I suspect it’s the first time they heard today they are playing without a striker and wandering why Eddie isn’t playing

    Remember we were told we’d be a force in Europe again now he was replacing Rodgers?

    At top clubs there is an element of ruthlessness. Sentiment cannot dictate. If you are good enough, you play.

    Would be surprised if clubs pay that sort of money for players that get dumped out at home in the 2nd round quals of the CL.

    Lennon talking about players who don't want to be here can go is him trying to cover his own * after making a complete mess of it tonight. Leaving two strikers on the bench and shoehorning Christie in up top is * poor. It was the same at the weekend, shunting Christie wide because Ntcham is playing. That's nothing against Ntcham because I thought he was good tonight and I like him as a player, but if he does play, then one of Christie, Brown or McGregor has to drop out. You cannot play all 4.

    The board haven't covered themselves in glory here either, but that is par for the course. * about with transfers and then when we don't qualify for the Champions League we can always sell one of our top players to balance the books, instead of bringing players in to get you into the group stages, i.e. Shane Duffy. The board are not the biggest culprit for tonight though, that falls on Lennon and his team selection.

    Absolute scunnered by consistently being knocked out by inferior teams in Europe. Maribor, Malmo, Cluj, Copenhagen and now tonight. Completely unacceptable. It was not a lack of effort or desire that cost us tonight, it was tactics and team selection.

    Couldn't give a * whether he stepped up after the rat ran away, it was still a far superior squad to anything Rangers had that any motivator could come in and do the job. And that's all Lennon is - a cheerleader whose novelty wanes over time.

    A manager he is not. To think that he was better than Rodgers - as much of a * he is - is just deluded. At least he got us into Europe on a few occassions with a worse squad. That's the calibre of management we want (omitting the personality), not this trainwreck.

    The most sickening part about tonight, before we got put out. Disrespectful as * move by Lennon and he now looks a * as it backfired massively.

    * poor management...

    If they dont want to be at the club why do they deserve a 1st team place?

    Surely thats more disruptive to the team that a player who isnt interested in Celtic gets a start over someone who wants to be at the club? No?

    The post match interview was his umpteenth mistake of the night.
    If there’s an issue with some players attitudes then why the * is he playing them?
    He’s sick of players that don’t want to be there but keeps a guy who’s worked his * off on the bench.

    I don’t think doing business in Scotland or shopping in your surroundings is a bad thing. But you are right, there is a cult around people like Broony and Lenny who for many are deemed untouchable. But with both of their displays tonight, they absolutely aren’t.
