Battle of the Lennons

917
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    You sound as if you have managed to see through some of the darkness that was engulfing you ……. good to have you back.

    Thanks buddy, appreciated.

     

     

    The darkest days are gone. I am focused on my wonderful kids who have given me so much strength – they are No1 – love them to bits. They need a strong Dad and that is what I am giving them.

    Why is Mr Traynor so keen to criticise Celtic supporters

     

    when Scottish football is is in a state of decline.

     

    Should he not be encouraging young people

     

    to attend football games.

     

    How many games does Mr Traynor pay to go to ?

    Do you know lynsey (sydney sc) and paddy are getting hitched next april? Don’t know how well you know my wee sis, but if you know someone who is, it would be great if you could let me know(email through Paul67). I’d love if something could be arranged before they fly home for the wedding.

    The Dunfermline banner was “Happy Birthday Celtic. PS We’ll Be Back”. They were relegated that season
