First the treble then the double slipped through the net leaving Celtic absolute certainties for the inaugural Scottish Premiership title, but with only a couple of higher aspirations to aim for. Fraser Forster is closing in on Bobby Clark’s Aberdeen league shut out record, which if he keeps a clean sheet at home to St Johnstone on Sunday, he would be able to eclipse 31 minutes into the visit to Tynecastle on 22 February.
Neil Lennon called Saturday’s defeat unacceptable but it would be just as unacceptable to concede to St Johnstone at home this weekend when so close to an all-time record. Saints have scored only one league goal away from home (at Firhill) since winning at Tynecastle on 2 November last year. Notwithstanding their four Cup goals at Forfar on Saturday, you could not wish for a more goal-shy league visitors.
The manager was rightly critical of his defence on Saturday so will hopefully use this weekend to ensure they are ready to play up for their goalkeeper this Sunday.
One of the highlights for the Celtic community last year was the incredible Ben Nevis Huddle, completed on the snow-capped mountain in June. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, 28 June. Applications opened on Friday and there are only 77 places left (big mountain but limited safe standing capacity). Go here if you want to get involved.

Who does he manage? Wiki (I know) shows him as retiring last year.
Gus Hiddink……yer hivin a laugh…….might be good in European ties …but the SPHelll…..talk sense…….you could bring Guardiola here and he wouldn’t have a clue……the only replacement for Lenny would be someone better who has SPHell experience (and there’s none) to first of all win our shitty league …..then….perform in Europe

Regardless of who employs Hiddink he isn’t going to be employed by us anytime soon.
No replacement for Neil. There you go I said it.

Hugh Keevins outdoing himself tonight. Take a bow…
Hiddink? Only if the multi-multi-millionaire has a fond place in his heart for Celtic
====
A MULTI MILLIONAIRE DID CARE ENOUGH TO PULL THE PLUG ON HIDDINK YEARS AGO. THE PREFERRED CHOICE BLOW THEM OUT THE WATER AND THE REST IS HISTORY. IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY.
The club won’t get rid of Lenny, he may decide for the good of his family that a move is best all round, I hope not, but don’t have a clue how he feels re his family life.
Till then, he is our manager, and imo shouldn’t entertain any thoughts about replacing him.

Alex Rae has invested as much in Rangers as i have

If Neil Lennon leaves Celtic due to treatment received, then we have the potential to become an unmanageable club.
All the combined anti Celtic forces would have to do is employ similar tactics that have created the conditions that Neil has endured, which will discourage future incumbents.
There is also a school of thought on here that he should remain at CP for as long as he wants, which,in effect, renders him unsackable.
Uefa apply rules ?
The same UEFA who employed Hugh Dallas ? your having a laugh
Kevtic…not sure what all the caps are about man….

Hence our need to get out asap.

Guus Hiddink is currently coaching Anzhi in Russia.
Earning about 7 million a year.
Fabio Cappello is the coach of the Russia national side.
Earning even more I believe.
Btw, they are both pensioners in their late 60s.
…and multi-millionaires.
HH!!
thomthetim – a completely valid point. According to others Roy Keane would be able to “put up” with that.
Tallybhoy – multi-multi-millionaires

Yep.
How ‘s life with you. Must mail you soon.
Glen Daly……them 3 stooges who filmed the GB every other week…..would love I..it there…….best position for them would be under the big banner
I’m just glad Neil doesn’t use twitter or read blogs anymore.
Who needs the MSM when our fans put the boot in to the gaffer.
So much for faithful through and through eh.
What would I prefer cups or titles hmmm easy choice for me 10 IAR here we go.
Ask yourself this little ? Why do you think the MSM want Neil out ?
tallybhoy-thanks for clearing that up.
Paul, your articles are normally a very good read and I usually agree with what you write, BUT I’m sorry, your article today smacks of deflection from the truth of a poor season. Knocked out of both domestic cups at home. Unfortunately, I have to lay the blame for Saturday at our manager’s door. Neil got our formation very wrong and that simple error was compounded by his inability to recognise that error and change it during the whole game. As a result, this put ridiculous pressure on our 2 man midfield, as they were hopefully outnumbered, so we’re overpowered by Willo Flood and Barry Robson for God’s sake! This in turn meant they couldn’t protect to our defence, and allowed them to be so very exposed. This has happened before eg Ajax in Dam with same outcome. With the resources we have the return in terms of trophies this season is very well. Most fans I think will find any shut out record or unbeaten season very hollow when we’re watching someone else lift the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park. Of course there is a nightmare scenario that is too scary to even contemplate…..so forgive me if I don’t get carried away with shut outs or unbeaten runs, Paul.

Ole Fabio C has an art collection which, about 4/5 years ago, was valued at some 10 million quid.
A fraction of his wealth.
HH!!
Folks sorry for predictive text nonsense. Too depressed to check first – apologies. You’ll get the drift I’m sure.

Good thanks, and I keep forgetting to mail you, sorry, I remember and then forget, old age Eh >}

So worst case scenario…..they win the cup, the sfa put them forward, and uefa concede.
WTF is the point of rules, it’s a joke.

============
You obviously missed the gag line.
ALBION ROVERS will be delighted ;)
kevtic,
That may be true but then Hiddink got a job with PSV and then took them to 2 CL semi finals during MON tenure. Hiddink would have been a great move for us back then till DD stopped it and gave the job to Martin.
I for one was gutted. Yes MON gave us great times, but European wise Hiddink may have just took us that bit further in the CL in those days especially with the money we were spending at the time.
Alex Rae- another member of the illiterate failed managers club getting the brogues polished for a gig on Snyde now to tell Lenny how to do his job?
Horrible horrible man, saw him up at Lennoxtown a couple of years ago at a Celtic v Dundee U-19 cup tie talking to the legend that is Daniel Fergus.
Rae has the most horrible disgusting spitting habit, every 10 secs, gob, gob, turned my stomach. Danny, the gent that he is gave him the time of day, God knows why.
Willo Flood and Barry Robson, both past their sell by date with Celtic but able to dominate Broonie and co.
Thats progress for ye.
please fellow tims wake up a s i hve done we are not as good as we think we are and cork celt ill leave you with a croy celtic supporter who died in 1982 from lung cancer he was 53 years old he once said to me if eleven monkeys came running out of parkhead with green and white stripes shirts people would still cheer them on hail hail and god bless
