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.

    Last one from me tonight because the last episode of Book of the Week is about to come on Radio 4 (see me? see the high life?).

     

     

    In the Euro 2012 when Portugal played Bosnia-Herzegovina in the play-offs in Zenica, I thought the Bosnian crowd was singing something familiar.

     

     

    Not having a lot of Bosnian, I had to concentrate on the rhythm and melody (not always easy with a football chant), and it’s been playing on my mind. I think I’ve worked it out. I think it’s this. I think we should start singing it at evening kick-offs, and I think a lot of the songs from the same musical would be excellent additions to our repertoire.

     

     

    You make your own luck

    Thanks. It’s not a programme I am familiar with. Could Dermot do a re-release?
