    At this point he is a shill for the SMSM to wind up Celtic.

    The common sense thing to do is to politely say he won't talk about Celtic for the foreseeable future, but he won't do that. In my opinion it's because he wants to stay relevant over here and has nothing else to talk about seeing as no one cares what he's doing in Cyprus.

    Some * want to explain to me how he was "Celtic to the core"

    * went a visit to ibrox and woukd of signed for them if they signed Catholics at that point


    Never stepped foot in Celtic Park until he was 30 and 30k a week

    With Neil Lennon continually offering sage advice to the past and current Celtic managers why not employ him as Director of Football. With his latest pearl of wisdom being we need more physical players I really think Lennon and Ange could be a marriage made in heaven. Lenny can oversee everything Ange does and step in if he feels something isn't quite right, I really think Ange would appreciate having someone like Neil Lennon keeping him on the straight and narrow.

    What made me love the man was back in his first spell as manager. For decades we as a support had issues with the referees in Scotland but rarely did we see anyone from the club address the issue.

    Lennon had the balls to call it out and for that he was sent bombs and bullets, seen the bigoted abuse towards him increase and took a bettering in the pressbeing made out as this nasty hellraiser who was intent on causing riots.

    But still he stuck to his guns and fought for our club. That earned him eternal respect for me.

    But, that side of his character, the one that makes him incapable of backing down, is what caused him to lose what he built over the years. I wish to * it never ended the way it did, but here we are. Not a fan of folk being overly nasty towards the guy, but it is what it is.

    Some people have short memories. I know the man has many faults and flaws like the rest of us and I am one who understands it all wasn't his fault for last year so will never point s finger towards him.
    You stand with people like Neil Lennon even if things didn't turn out the way we all wanted last year. We draw a line and move on. Not slate him or use words that are fitting for royal or loyalist orange scum.

    Lennons problems is as soon as he became a manager he felt he didn’t have to learn anything new which is daft to be honest no matter how old we are we always keeps learning and evolving he probs be an elite manager if he didn’t carry so much baggage and embraced new ideas … tried to slag off xg

    The thing is, he was very humble when he started and very humble after he returned from the wilderness, but as soon as he started winning he would completely change.

    It was under Rodgers when he was apparently close, after the Hibs loan. Summer 2018 I think it was.
