At least we now know what has to change for next year.
Very lazy, very wasteful and very over rated.
Huge change is required.
Not sure that BR would have been able to deliver so it will be a big ask whoever is in charge.
We are not good enough for the wages we are paying out.
Quite a few people need to be reminded of that fact.

The edge in class we have over Hibs was completely nullified by our own flat performance. We shouldn’t be having to hope Sevco drop points at this stage in order that we can go to Ibrox as champions. 3 points next week a must . huge improvement all round a must.
I know it was very warm out there today, but that was as poor a performance as I’ve seen. No real urgency.
Not a happy Easter bunny

Half the team we had out today are not good enough or will not last another season.
And some with the talent don’t have the drive to succeed.
New attitude needed in the dressing room.

MNCELT if you were not unhappy with that you are easily pleased, granted Hibs keeper played well but we were lethargic and had no urgency,very disappointed H H Hebcelt
Marciano made 4 very good saves but Scott Bain had a couple of smart stops too.
OTT reactions can take a hike – this game will fade into lost memories once we get a chance to win the title. Does not matter whether it is 30 points, 9 points or 5- it is still OUR title.
My biggest gripe is the continued one man up front …Okay it was BR philophisy and you could see that he was countering that with a no lose possesion based game.
However clearly NL has decided to be far more pragmatic in his second [I am not saying he is wrong].
But playing one man up top and that man being French Eddy who is hardly an out an out centre forward we are looking pretty toothless and slow.
I really think NL may well be playing himself out of the job because clearly the team has performed like today in many of his games.
I am taking nothing for granted .The league is not won until its won.We may already have enough points on the board to be champions.
But moving forward for next season this team does not function correctly.

We should a complete lack of urgency and imagination today. Ntcham should have not even started the game and despite watching him struggle our caretaker manager waited for an hour before taking him off. Giving Timo 10 minutes was also a disgrace. Neil should be nowhere near the managers job come the end of the season as we will regress with him in charge.

I hailed Ntcham as one of our best ever long term signings when he arrived.
Thought he was a model of composure; mighta I confused that with complacency…shame really.
Agree with the other poster; why not have subs warming up to remind players to up their game. That was limp.
Who’d win a game between NL’s Hibs and NL’s Celtic? (Neither it seems)

Sorry Lenny but hope your no where near being permanent manager. Totally uninspiring watch.Ntcham shocking again..JF looked uninterested..mcgregor off pace..(wrong? ) subs done very little when they finally came on.Your a top guy Lenny but no a top level manager.

I think we’ve looked much stronger at the back under Lennon.
I’m not too disappointed today. A win next weekend at we’ll be champions going to Ibrox or maybe clinch the title at Ibrox. I’m happy with either scenario.
Ibrox has the feel of a big game for Lennon. He previously missed the opportunity to win league at Ibrox so it would be nice to rectify that in couple of weeks.
Oglach on
A knee jerk reaction fuelld by Rioja perhaps but In all honesty that was dreadful stuff from Celtic. How the team aren’t motivated by clinching the league title as early as possible and why Lenny can’t motivate them are questions that should be asked. Yes their keeper pulled off some great saves but then again Bain had a couple of decent saves and weren’t it for Hibs messing up a couple of decent chances in front of goal we could have easily lost this. However this isn’t a recent problem as we witnessed a lot of performances such as this under Rodgers this season also.
Sevco ‘Within tangible distance’ laugh if you will but if Sevco are able to keep some of their better loans and add a couple of decent players and if we ‘yet again’ fail to significantly improve the squad next season with quality players, and fewer loans, the glib ones seemingly comedic quote may be a wee bit closer to the truth than we would like to contemplate. I have little doubt Sevco will pawn the kitchen sinks and risk liquidation 2 just to stop us winning 10IAR. Celtics 1st team squad requires a major overhaul IMHO.
Lennon has clearly instructed the wingers to put more crosses in..Today we did that .Quite a lot in fact.
But it is pointless without genuine threat in the box.
Very strange tactics
overseasbhoy on
Forrest was timid again – need a real winger like paddy. Lenny needs to go end of season or sooner
An Dun on
I think Lennon is getting unfairly hammered.
Rodgers last few trips to Easter Road were much worse than what we seen today. Lennon has delivered a cup final and maintained the gap.
There is problems with the squad and a rebuild is needed but that was the case regardless. Let’s see where we are come the end of the season and assess things then.
Bhoylo83 on
Wow have we actually got 3 points more this season than last season?
Just how bad were we last season
B-)
'GG on
Did anyone else have issues with CQN response late in second half?
Anyway a small step closer to 8.
Off to mass then lunch with my beautiful grand children and a few adults.
Sadly Easter Sunday marred by violence.
Our faith is under attack.
God bless you all.

Lennon was the only choice when the rat left, not his fault however he is not the man to lead us in what will be the most difficult two seasons ahead We need someone removed from the West of Scotland “Old Firm”mentality. You wonder why the media is touting him for the job? They will use every tactic in the book to draw him in and unsettle us. this in itself is enough surely for us to look elsewhere.

“Olly, a mainstay of the Invincible team, is just back from long term injury, I wonder what motivates those who slag him off yet afford Tom R plenty of leeway when coming back from injury.”
My motivation for criticising Olly’s performance was the evidence of my own eyes. He played poorly and wasted possession on numerous occasions. He was dispossessed almost every time a Hibs player challenged him, and showed no positional sense at any time. More worryingly, he showed little appetite to even put a shift in, which imo illustrates his conviction to the Celtic cause.
Moreover I have mentioned the many poor performances he has had for Celtic before, not just this game. Imo he is not a player who can take us forward, and today’s “performance “ only highlighted the fact.

Dexter,
Yes I do
Been a poor second half
Eddy from point bland. Keeper makes good save
Great save from keeper denies Celtic
two great saves by hibs keeper keeps them in it
Another great save from corner.
And another corner.
Hibs clear for a shy to us
FK right on edge of box. Central
TR into wall
OE with golden chance!! Save
Corner. Simo header. Great save.
Corner out for another. Wasted.
Attack fizzles out. Goalkick
How to mess up a league title – shambles
FK Hibs in our half
FT 0-0
Hibs keeper star for them.
Gordy.
Opinions. Ah well.
Imho we were crap. Manager was crap.
Slap in face to those going to Celtic Park next week.
0-0 lackadaisical performance need to up our game here we move on COYBIG
Fairly flat.
Weah and Odsonne look like a good partnership. Would like to see more of that.
A real lack of urgency.
Not unhappy with the performance today. Hibs goalie earned them a point.
Poor team selection,no motivation,subs as usual on to late,
Lethargic, uninspired, negative … 3rd 0-0 in last 6 league games (under NL).
Dread the thought, but I suppose if we draw all our remaining 4 league games 0-0 we will still win the league.
Very very poor.
Timo weah!6mins ffs.
At least we now know what has to change for next year.
Very lazy, very wasteful and very over rated.

Not sure that BR would have been able to deliver so it will be a big ask whoever is in charge.

Next game.
Why does W@nker keep sayin it will go down to ibrox if we both win next week
We still have to play Aberdeen before that
The league is nowhere near won yet
My biggest gripe is the continued one man up front …Okay it was BR philophisy and you could see that he was countering that with a no lose possesion based game.
