We lost the first leg in what was his first-ever game, turned it around comfortably in the second leg, made it to the CL groups and went unbeaten in all three domestic trophies that season.
Heady days…

Where we are just now all stemmed from May 2019 in the Hampden showers.
We downsized massively from Rodgers to Lennon, like going from a Ferrari to a Cinqecento.
All because our CEO/unofficial DOF was called out publicly numerous times by Rodgers.
Lawwell, rather than going for the best available candidate, someone who was totally professional and up to date with the modern game, went with a dinosaur, Lennon, who said previously “I’m not big on tactics. It’s about the players and THEY have to go out onto the pitch and apply that.”
All so that he wouldn’t be called out for his ineptitude in the job.
Oue CEO, the highest paid in British football last year, confirmed he never even looked at applications to succeed Lawwell.
The ultimate cronyism.
Yet we laugh at the sevco board!
Lennon would never be in a position to rock the boat.
He doesn’t carry the managerial reputation of Rodgers.
What makes it worse is that we accepted it.
Now we are 18 months further on from Hampden in the showers, and some people on here will still back Lawwell.
I’ve read derogatory comments on the ‘cult of the SNP’, we have similar in our support who blindly follow the ‘cult of Lawwell’.
We have to change the manager and coaches, but this has been obvious for awhile.
Why wait till we have lost the league?
However getting rid of the puppeteer who picked Lennon has to happen in order to really move forward.
We are currently sleepwalking into a domestic crisis .
We all know it but that celtic faith in your soul keeps you positive.
A win at motherwell on sunday will be nothing more than a stay of execution for our manager.
This team are falling apart right in front of our eyes.
For my money a short sharp shock in the form of a new complete management team is about our only hope.
Heck I would take any high energy coach who knows his tactics other than Lenny right now because he appears bogged down and beaten.
Wether the players have let him down or he has let them down is debateable.
But this team aint right on so many levels.
Can only be cured by changing the manager and please DO NOT put John Kennedy IN CHARGE because I have a feeling he might be part of the problem.
I would sack the both of them [lenny and kennedy]tommorow and install Gordan Strachan [manager],Scott Brown [assistant] and Gavin strachan [coach] can stay for some continunity…….long term i would be looking for a new start with a new manager next season.

Inquisitov – can’t disagree. I think a properly organised celtic with the players we have will batter sevco. But we are not that and that is the problem.
I’m afraid players rule the roost these days. When a manager loses their respect or whatever then he us beat.

Here’s hoping your Da and mine has a word with the powers that be.
Loving and merciful God, we entrust our brother to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life; now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace for ever. The old order has passed away; welcome him now into paradise. where there will be no more sorrow, No more weeping or pain,
3 points on Sunday and use the international break to bed in a new management team.
At this stage it isn’t a risk. We’ve nothing to lose. Players checking the mobiles at 1-3 down !
We will not win ten in a row with Lenny. That hurts but I’d rather win it all the same. Neil shouldn’t be allowed to take the house down with him.

Who are our best players?
Christie – trying to cover all midfield
Edouard – chucked it
McGregor – playing out of position for 2 years. Worst tackler of all time
Rogic – just back and doing his job
Laxalt – brilliant but not our player
Frimpong – doing what he does but no grown ups looking after him
Cruisers
Ntcham – great player but chucked it ( see edouard)
Moi – great goals but feathering his bed (see phone action)
Brown – same slightly negative impact for 10 out of 12 years
Griffiths – great player once but checks in when he feels like it
AJer – believes his own hype
Pish
El Hamed – showed it at Hampden for Israel but jogs for us
Bitton – gutless in midfield or CB
Duffy – he really is an Irish Colin Hendry. The TA fell for that when I said he was pish ( was derided for that)
Taylor- he really does nothing

We have no coaching no system and we wonder how a team with 50% of their first team absent canmakeuslook like amateurs ,the answer is easy ,
We have have no COACHING

Beaten by Lincoln Red Imps is pumped any day, any game, any manager.
BRs euro record wasnt all that – not the full story below but…
I’ve never said BR’s Euro record was “all that” and any club from Scotland would struggle to make a serious dent in Europe.
My point was, he was at least getting us to the Champions League group stage and it’s unfair to compare EL results against CL results. If Lennon ever gets us there, we can have a fair comparison.
I mean in this stint….not too worried about what Lennon did a decade ago…..and for the record BR’s Leicester are currently strolling their EL group.
Rolling_Stone on
We have £17m worth of strikers…plus LG. I think any half decent manager will be able to come in and beat our domestic opponents (Sevco another kettle of fish). Europe is gone now, so no pressure there.
But please can we stop pretending that we have to keep Neil as he, and he alone, can lead us to tortured victories over SPFL dross? Its just nonsense.
Eddie Howe would be my choice but he will command decent wages and has a bit of stature (read: leverage), so two negatives for Pedro.

Will it take gerrads team taking 5 off us at ibrox in 7 weeks time for the final few to realise that Lennon mark two is a disaster…it is coming folks.We have all seen how this team defends tonight and it was not a premier.
spikeysauldman on
GB, and I initially wasnt comparing NFL, BR against each other or even looking at their records in isolation. Was just pointing out that for me at any rate losing to LIncoln Red Imps was as big a humiliation as the pumpings by the likes of PSG, Barcelona etc.
And for the record, I dont follow Leicester or BR.
What he does there wont affect his euro record at Celtic and wont make me forget getting beaten by a team from Gibraltar.
And it wont make me forget the Invincible season or the Humpings of the Hun either ;-)

Get real. He dumped us, sure. But he is a top, top football manager.

D Duff said Kennedy is by far the best coach we have at Celtic – after being robbed of his football playing career, maybe the writing is on the wall to deliver the 10! a bit too romantic but cant be worse than current situ.
It also becoming clear that our best chance of getting results in europe at celtic park would be to stick 5 men at the back at shorten the pitch…..yes shocking thing to say but that is where we are now.

After tonight if I was a sheep supporter I would be saying WTF in regards tae Sunday.
Was tonight’s game Lenny’s Mogga St Mirren one.
Just a wee reminder, we are Celtic are we not………Last 6 games.
1 win
2 draws
3 defeats
For- 9
Against- 14
3 home defeats in a row
I would wager if there was people at the games Lenny would be gone by now.
Let that sink in bhoys and ghirls, that is not acceptable, not in any dimension is that acceptable.
Oh and this pish about Moi being on the phone, jeezo, that is desperado stuff.
Fairhill Bhoy
Sincere condolences for your sad loss.
If you were Lenny would you you resign or wait to be sacked .?
I think we are in a game of POKER
We take pride in our club and our european history.
It means far more to me than 10 in a row ever will.
However I am realistic.I know our place in the current european football table.
I can handle being also rans but dream of glory all the same.
I can handle defeats and there have been many in the last few years at celtic park.
But when you are getting ragged rotten by Sparta Prague with [seven first team players out]?
Unacceptable on all levels and if Lenny survives this [which he probably will] we will get everything we deserve this season.
The other team in glasgow are far too good for us this season and we all know it.
The only slender hope we have is a change in manager and hopefully a rebirth for this pathetic underperforming team of frauds.
Maybes someone should ask Lenny what is the difference between Moi sitting on his arse on the phone and him sitting on his arse with his arms folded, just a thought.
Fanad
Lenny can’t walk, he would be virtually unemployable IMO, sad to say but that is the stretch of things.
Will it take gerrads team taking 5 off us at ibrox in 7 weeks time for the final few to realise that Lennon mark two is a disaster…it is coming folks.We have all seen how this team defends tonight and it was not a premier.
