Battle of the Lennons

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.

    Scotland has never been too friendly towards Glasgow Celtic

     

    however it now appears more hostile than ever.

     

    What has happened for Scotland to take on this anti Celtic

     

    view as never before ?

    I used to feel that way too, but my own brush with death changed that.

     

     

    Not criticising you mate. I can fully understand where you are coming from.

    We look after our loved ones.

     

    We help our neighbours.

     

    We go out to work and pay our taxes.

     

    But as soon as soon as we put on a Celtic scarf

     

    We’re fair game.

    No you haven’t missed the link cos I haven’t got around to doing the biz, my life is as hectic as I can’t cope, too much pressure on my time, too much things to do, not enough time to do things, and I came here to retire, nay wonder I drink too much, the only solice I have.

     

     

    It’s on my to do list, I am trying still to set up a website thing, but it should be on line soon, I am getting help :>))

     

    I never knew things were so hard, I thought computers made your life easier, that’s what they told us is it not, well they lied.

     

     

    We are still doing work around the house/cave so that also takes up time I am getting less of, my golf is getting less and less time spent on it, the plan was for more golf that has taken a hit on the head.

     

     

    My wee buisness is taking priority, it should be out there soon though, will be on all the Celtic sites and hopefully with the clubs backing, then I will get the photos up, it takes me an age to do anything on a computer, I’m just getting the hang of posting and e-mailing.

    Sorry.

     

     

    Apparently it was a Twitter rumour started after the death of a Margaret Thatcher in the USA.

    I see Kris Commons is out for a few weeks.

     

     

    Anyone else of the opinion that he is suffering the consequences of his general physical fitness not being up scratch?

    Do you mean is she dead?

     

     

    No, apparently not.

     

     

    It was a silly Twitter rumour.
