Battle of the Lennons

917

It’s the battle of the Lennons at Celtic Park tomorrow with Danny enjoying the best run of form in his managerial career.  St Mirren are on 20 points, joint with St Johnstone, who they beat in Perth last month, and have already taken a point from Ibrox this season.  They are a technically sound team who will be more difficult to create chances against than Dunfermline were on Wednesday.  They can also play a bit.

Team formation will be enormously important for Neil Lennon.  This is the type of fixture he would previously select a 4-4-2, with two wingers, giving width to the game, but leaving a central two outnumbered by opponents who inevitably pack the middle of the field.  If Celtic persist with this strategy they’ll need to tighten up in the middle.

There is an interesting subplot to this weekend’s games.  Earlier this month there was a daunting 12 points between Celtic and Rangers.  A win for Celtic tomorrow would see that gap shrink to 4 points, with Rangers playing their game in hand away to Kilmarnock at lunchtime on Sunday.  As well as playing for three points tomorrow, Celtic have the opportunity to put pressure on Rangers.

    Thumbs up

     

    25 points

     

     

    Prob the least well known of that team, but he played well.

     

    Best memories was him scoring against the huns in a 3-1 win in 87 I think, rounded the goalkeeper.

     

    Still never forgave him from being my wifes ex haha

  8. Owen one of the least known???

     

    Not to the 12000 or so Celtic fans that were there

     

    Everyone is a legend. Well except one of course :)

    With all due respect to the young fella, but imo, whytie saw the boy coming big time.

     

     

    No idea of the ins and outs, but it’s called slave labour/indenture where I come from, the boy has been sold a pup, least his agent has, who no doubt will be getting his wedge, it’s a shocking state of affairs, and only the hun would be party to something like it.

     

     

    Again imo, it’s one of the most despicable deals I have ever heard of, and in my time on this planet I have come across some despicable deals in business, but this one takes the biscuit.

  10. Re Owen Archdeacon

     

    Remember at the time there was a lot of talk around Port Glasgow/ Greenock when he signed for us. I think he dated my (Now) wife when he was an S form with Morton.

     

    Anyway I remember being full of the Eldorado at 17 at an away game against airdrie, when he made one of the first appearances for us, I gave him abit of verbal from the terrace. Friends were dumbfounded until I told them, had a good laugh for the remainder of the game slagging wee Oweny.

     

    All in good taste I should add.

  11. Who is “Seany’s” agent???

    ======================

     

     

    Was there also and on the pitch at the end, great day, night, weekend, summer.

     

    Amazing how many regulars at the time gave up hope and never went.

     

    On the trian coming back I heard the sond ‘championees’ and ‘up the ra’ for the first time, and the rest of Port Glasgow heard them for the forst time that night.

     

    Oooowwww Wallace Mercer…..
