Neil Lennon ‘got’ Celtic. He was a rookie appointment, and the early weeks were far from comfortable, a Hampden defeat to Ross County looked like an ominous early sign, but from the start of his first preseason he didn’t look back.
He was a hugely successful Celtic manager in Scotland and in Europe. The Barcelona team of the last six years, possibly the greatest team in history, were at their peak when they visited Celtic Park in November 2012. Neil came up with the game plan which brought Celtic victory and raised our profile across Europe.
What he had to endure off-field during his time at Celtic was atrocious and a blight on our society. But he overcame it. He stuck it out when you or I may have left, and now he leaves on his own terms – an undisputed winner.
More at another time on who next, but if we get a man nearly as capable we will be doing well.
Take care, Neil.

Sorry I missed you when you were over.

Condolences to the Youngs on the death of their father.
We won’t see McGlone on TV again after that lol
First of all thanks for the memories Neil. You gave me one of the best ever night’s at Celtic Park (Barca) , and one of the best afternoons, ironically on a day we lost the league, the final match of the 2010-11 season against Motherwell.
I have no idea who will have the honour of being our next manager. He will need an extraordinary strength of character. It is no coincidence that our three most successful managers in recent times have been Martin, Gordon and Neil. In their own way hugely single minded and with little care of what either the media or even the fans view is, they have been determined to make their own decisions and to live or die them. The successor will have to be equally strong.
For the job to go to someone who does not know the Scottish media world and how Scottish football and society works he will need a very good `Celtic minded` mentor.
Too soon for Jackie or Paul I fear, not sure about Malky, Lambo would do me but is still in a job. Laudrup and Weighorst I think would be great with Danny and Jk making up the team?
what did matt and george say? paraphrase!

Great comments from Matt McGlone about sectarianism.
“Its been going on for a while”
Im now almostcertain Neil’s left due to the financial constraints he’s continually worked under.

Ok, I switched over, so what did Matt say? Please. :-))
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
I think it took Galloways words to give mcgloan a bit of courage.
Waddell is a moron!
Gordon is a moron!
He is a creep!
Jilted John
Rancid hun in empty seat shocker, hope Matt slaps him for that HH
Matt knows his stuff, moyes for me

He will live with you forever.
(BTW I was the quiet one in the taxi Youngy)
Gordon Waddell geez us peace !!

Then again…

Sorry mate, I must have picked you up wrong. I thought you were wanting an example of an owner taking cash out of a club. I never meant to substantiate a rumour that DD was doing it to Celtic.
By the way did anyone see the interviews with the two lads rescued from the fishing boat of Aberdeenshire. They could have their own show, so canny and hilarious.
Morrissey the 23rd ,
FFS, it wasn’t my Da, you are worse than Hamiltontim at reading the blog:-)))
hun skelper @22:48
Matt McGlone telling them like it is, get in there HH
;) We were thinking and posting the same thing at the same time:
@Morrissey23rd
@MattMcGlone9 telling it as it is right now on STV.

“what did matt and george say?”
—————————–
Nothing but the truth about NFL’s abuse that others on the MSM try to sweep under the carpet. Scotland’s shame.
HH
Galloway and McGlone stated the so called personal issues in Scotland, was pure and simply because he was an Irish catholic managing Celtic, end of
hun skelper – she would rather listen to the “Son of the Manse” and his controversial figure pash!
Feck the lot of them, we’ll still be dominant for years to come. Hope the media concentrate on the usual suspects and we come up with someone entirely different.
T4
Well that told us a few things……
Mcgarvey looks terrible
McGlone tell it like it is and won’t be asked back
And waddle is a rancid hurting hun who knows who ever Celtic employ as manager will still be better than mcmoist and will continue the domination and march to
10 IN A ROW HH
Frank McGarvey…..Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear
just a couple of idiots on drugs? Lennon was fine going for a pint?
Wow Frank!
CaltonTongues#TeamOscar @ 22:55
I understood your post. Did you with mine?
RIP Jim
Matt McGlone, Graham Spiers, well said.
Frank McGarvey, you embarrased yourself, enjoy the soup.
Been going on for a while….
Referees cheating
Football Authorities bending over backwards for the benefit of the filth
Violence and extreme intimidation
Scathing criticism from ‘our own’ fans.
……etc
Morten Weighorst has a far superior record in managing, than that of Henrik, and he has avery good reputation as a coach
Put him with Clarke, and we will have an exceptional coaching team to develop players
Hail Hail
T4, that would be interesting.
Steve Clarke or Davie Moyes but doubt either will work with 4 million and best players sold off…
Green piñata……
George Galloway says what he thinks we all feel.
Absolute gobshite of a man.
More faces than a town hall clock.
Indefatigueable though……
