It was only an 'easy option' because he was already in the job. However, that doesn't mean that it wasn't the right one.
Fair enough, the Celtic season ticket holders you know are paying their money, so they're entitled to their opinion, although perhaps next time you could ask them to outline exactly why, according to them that Lennon, given sufficient money to spend on players in the summer (as indeed will be the case), won't be capable of winning another two titles for Celtic, as he did last time he was in charge? Especially when his biggest rivals still have a rookie manager learning his trade, even though he's shown signs of ability.
It's *that* bit I don't get, as I'm not talking about progress in Europe. The Celtic fans I know (including me) would gladly swap any kind of European success whatsoever, in the next two years, for securing 10-in-a-row, which is *precisely* why Lennon is there, so tell me why, when as Celtic manager before he's been up against more proven and successful managers than Gerrard, he's not capable of doing that job?
Btw, that's not to say that Gerrard won't get the better of him (and Celtic) next season - that could well happen for a variety of reasons - but not because Lennon's fundamentally not up to the task, or doesn't have the right credentials, as history both past and recent suggests otherwise.
I missed what Brown did at the end, as I was watching the game late last night, on catch-up, on Celtic TV, and fell asleep towards the end... So what did he do?
Regardless, Broony is still a very capable captain/leader and player, and who would grace most teams in Britain, even some in the EPL. He's certainly no angel though, as indeed many others aren't. The fact is, he gets a LOT of abuse, which he largely takes on the chin.
There have been plenty of Rangers players in the past who's actions on and off the field have left a lot to be desired, and who weren't under the constant spotlight and scrutiny of social media, as Brown is and other players are today. The truth of the matter is that Scott Brown largely gets up the noses of opposition fans and players, because they're jealous that they don't have someone like him in THEIR team!
What would Rangers give now for another Andy Goram, Richard Gough, Ian Durrant or Barry Ferguson?
Marco.
