    wont surprise me if he gets it; its the cheaper option and as u say knows the club. Depends how much 10 in a row means compared to true Euro progress.
    Sure most Gers fans would be happy with Lennon; better the dude you know

    It's the holy grail mate, for the vast majority of the Celtic support, just as it's the same for the majority of Rangers fans who want to stop it. The Celtic supporters I know would gladly (temporarily) trade true Euro progress for securing 10-in-a-row, and for me, Lenny's best equipped for delivering that.

    Aside from from being a diehard Celtic fan himself, he knows most of the players (certainly many key ones) really well, having signed some of them himself, and the players both like and respect him. He's also been manager before, so knows all that that entails, and also the impact it has on your personal life.

    That wouldn't necessarily be the case for someone else who came in, especially a foreigner... That's why, for the sake of maintaining an important level of continuity, Lennon is the man. And as you say, he's also the cheaper option! Plenty of time later, once 10-in-a-row has been tackled, for the board to spend big again on another top manager, like Rodgers

    As I said, I was just pleased to make it to halftime only a goal down, I agree our keeper kept us in the game and probably only him and Tav would start for Celtic. One thing I would mention is that Celtic were playing much better football earlier in the season when Brown was not playing. We need to bring in some quality for the long term not just loan signings, you can’t build for future using loan players.
    Regards

    true, but if he fails, then fans will quickly trot out the biscuit box and bash Lawwell with it. I know, its a potentially no win situation. Better players or not there is no surety of Celtic winning next season. His record isnt too bad with Celtic, but has he the mental strength he had, is another matter.... Sure he will want it and as you say, if he wins treble, even if most of it is Rodgers's he will take credit, and it will be difficult not to give him it

    Absolutely, although it certainly helps! But I'm on record as saying that next season will be a cracker, for the reasons outlined, and I certainly don't expect it to be easy for Celtic - far from it.

    I think most of the Celtic fans though, the genuine ones who live in the real world, would appreciate why Lennon was given the job, if he gets it, on the back of securing the title and (if it happens) winning the Scottish Cup, and would accept what subsequently happens accordingly.

    However... I've got a sneaky feeling that Aberdeen are due a win in the cup against Celtic, sooner rather than later, and that might just come this season. Of course, I hope not!

    Footy fans, especially the Glasgow type are not understanding. Just look at our lot; been calling for SG and his signings to get the heave since losing to Aberdeen.... No Patience of forgiveness in them.

    Also the other sides including Rangers may not be as strong next season. This year Dons, Hearts, Hibs and Killy have all been beating the so called big two, and that has kept the season interesting. It may well not happen again. Even the lower sides have done well at times.
    I do hope plenty are in the mix next year as its what the country needs, but the sceptic in me sees it differently.

    For Kilmarnock to be in the mix next season they will need to hold onto Steve Clarke.
