It’s impossible to play inferior opposition week in week out and expect to suddenly raise your game dramatically for European games. Now that Rangers are back and are likely to win the title, it has taken a decade for them to get to this point, I bet you will start to see a different approach from the Celtic board again. It’s the nature of things. Simple as.

Maybe you might find the Rangers thread more to your liking, you know the thread of the team you actually support and mysteriously stopped posting on 8 years ago :D

There is no mystery, I became a father, priorities changed pretty dramatically. You know nothing about me. I’ll be the first to congratulate the Rangers lads on their forum if and when the time comes. This forum is for discussing matters related to Celtic and the replacement of their CEO was under discussion today. Can you not address the points I am making? If you think I’m wrong, so be it. This is what mature debate is.

The youngster didn't mind you posting shi*e about egg chasing during those 8 years though no?

If there is one thing worse than a bad troll it is a compulsive liar and sh*t stirrer...............oh look a big shiny IGNORE button.

Doctor Jimbob · 29-01-2021 5:43pm

Rangers. Rangers rangers rangers rangers. Rangers, rangers. Rangers rangers, rangers? Rangers.

I’m sorry, I have never hidden my interest in rugby union and that’s how I actually met Dominic McKay previously. Everything isn’t all black and white.

Good news for Celtic I believe. I have met Dominic before, he came across as a very humble guy. He has a big task ahead of him. Very hard to judge Peter’s legacy to be honest. Scottish football has been a bit of joke over the last decade, so hard to fully appraise his achievements, but on balance I think he did a good job for Celtic.

And don’t forget the bitterness that Celtic fans on this forum have displayed towards Peter. The comments are there for all to see, many of which were unfair in my view.

Mod: Brewster please do not post on this thread again

No change with Celtic, comedy defending leaking two goals in the first 35 minutes. Nice goal from Edouard to make it 1-1

Celtic 1- 2 St Mirren

A Dub in Glasgo · 30-01-2021 4:50pm

Sore one for Bitton, twists his ankle when clearing the ball

HT 1-2

Doctor Jimbob · 30-01-2021 4:56pm

Barkas not playing, who's going under the bus today?

A Dub in Glasgo · 30-01-2021 5:02pm

Welsh on for Bitton and Rogic on for Griffiths

Wow.

RoryMac · 30-01-2021 6:04pm

Beaten again and no surprise. St Mirren haven't beaten us at home since the 90's apparently.

This is the worst I remember a Celtic team being and the frustrating thing is we have a decent squad by the league's standards anyway.

Any other Celtic manager would've been gone months ago but I guess the board are going to stick with whatever deluded plan they have until the summer.

A Dub in Glasgo · 30-01-2021 6:08pm

This is worse than the Barnes and Mobray tenure

Far worse when you consider how strong we were when Lennon took over. I've never seen a football team go downhill as fast and as badly as we have this season

Seems like it's all the players now, not the managers faulty, definitely not!

and the fans have been let down by Lennon (which is such a shame as it does not need to end this way)

US2 · 30-01-2021 6:54pm

Is lennon staying to watch them win the title at Celtic Park, which is looking very likely now.

Tom Mann Centuria · 30-01-2021 7:02pm

Just from an outsider looking in, I'd be slightly concerned about Lennon's mental health. He has a history with struggling at times with it, and for his own good I really think the powers that be at Celtic should be stepping in.

Yeah it is a worry how he is coping with this away from the spotlight. I thought the same about the board having to step in for his own good but his position was untenable months ago and they went down this route.

I wonder did they think it was better for him to stay in place believing that things would pick up a little after Christmas. But with the Dubai trip and aftermath things have spiraled downwards and put him under more stress. It's not good for him to be left in this position any longer

polarbearhead · 30-01-2021 8:21pm

We're lucky that Hibs or Aberdeen haven't really been at it. We might still struggle to get second

henke · 31-01-2021 3:21am

And the worst of it is on Monday morning it is likely Lennon will still be in the job. For Neil's sake, for the supporters being positive about the future sake, the board at Celtic need to be proactive and make the decisions.

Nunu · 31-01-2021 10:45am

Do managers ever resign anymore? Are they all just money hungry & self absorbed? Honestly, the last manager I remember resigning was Kevin Keegan. Twice. Once with Newcastle and then with England where he undoubtedly gave up a substantial payout from the FA if he waited to be sacked.

My point is Lennon should resign, instead of waiting for the bullet and a payout. The club is damaged, the fans are done and his own mental health is undoubtedly damaged.

But like I said it just seems acceptable in football management to sit like a lame duck waiting for the inevitable.

He has a contract. Who knows if he’ll get another job in football management. Would you walk away from thousands of pounds??

How long has he left on his contract?

TBH I can't really be bothered watching Celtic anymore, not while he's in charge. Clearly something is seriously wrong, and it's not going to change while he is in charge.

12 month rolling contract.

One year rolling as far as I can remember. Would you walk away from a years wages, if you’d no guarantee of another job? It’s up to the board to pay the contract they agreed with him. Unless they have someone lined up for the summer and are letting Lennon see out the season.

RoryMac · 31-01-2021 1:41pm

If they have someone lined up for the summer they should get rid of Lennon, Kennedy & Strachan now and put McManus in place for the rest of the season. Continuing with this is causing more damage every day

RoryMac · 31-01-2021 9:18pm

Looks like Ben Davies is going to Liverpool instead of us and talk that JonJoe Kenny is signing on loan untill the end of the season

DavidLyons_ · 01-02-2021 3:58pm

Looks like Ntcham is off to Marseille on loan today with a £4.5m option to buy in the summer.

He's deadwood for us under Lenny but is certainly a talent.

Weren't Porto in for his a while back with a bid of £12m or £13m? Seems like yet another fcuk up.

I don't know if Ntcham has the attitude required to be a better player he generally looked disinterested apart from a handful of games. Certainly has the talent though.

Yeah Porto offered £13m a couple of years ago which we should snapped up

You'd have to worry about his decision making to join us at the minute

Haha safe to say Villas Boas is not a fan!!

Wonder if he'd be interested in coming in the opposite direction?

duffman13 · 02-02-2021 2:14pm

Doesn't fit the profile of the players AVB wanted. He is very particular about signing players with the right attitude

Kenny starting tonight.

Kiss of death, I know, but we’ve started this one well.

I know but then the best chance so far fell to Kilmarnock

Good half. A couple of the usual nervy moments, but we expect that this season.

RoryMac · 02-02-2021 9:35pm

I think he enjoyed that one. Enjoying a lot of possession but lacking a bit of imagination up front

DavidLyons_ · 02-02-2021 9:53pm

And that should be that.

A Dub in Glasgo · 02-02-2021 9:54pm

Edouard pen makes it 0-2

Good work from Ajeti to nip in front of the keeper for the peno
