SandyCromarty Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Never liked the man, especially when he faked that headbutt from Juanjo to get him sent off. And then Celtic with a fan base of 63,000 ST holders took him in as manager was beyond belief, Lennon as manager of Championship Bolton failed to win a match in 17 games and got sacked, with Celtic's money and aspirations they should have aimed higher than a failed english championship manager regardless of his time at Hibs. If Celtic really want success they will have to spend big after losing big with Lennon. Lennon Celtic Legend, my fuckin arse, the likes of Jimmy Johnstone or Bertie Peacock are legends and Lennon would never been have good enough to lace those players boots.

He delivered a quadruple treble, tbf Willie has a point about Lennon being treated shabbily by celtic fans and the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it was due to his refusal to spend money the club couldn’t afford. Ring any bells?? A point on the ‘H’ word. Rangers fans used it as a name for Celtic fans in the 60’s and 70’s, then Celtic turned it round and started using it against rangers fans, at what point did it become sectarian? What I read ( yes I know ) was that the embryonic Sevco " fans" rioted down in england ( familiar ? ) approx. 1961 like marauding ###s I think it was Wolves ? they were known as the " bank of england " Edited February 24, 2021 by ewan14 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember being told that they used to the term to describe Celtic fans because they were perceived to be anti-British and were the enemy so were referred to as **** just as they referred to the Germans as **** during the war.

DukDukGoose Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 https://www.thenational.scot/sport/19115451.celtics-scott-brown-thanks-outgoing-boss-neil-lennon/ “I probably wouldn’t still be captain at Celtic if it wasn’t for Neil Lennon. He kept me on after Tony Mowbray left, and he was a breath of fresh air when he came in. He was great with the lads, and we were fighting for him because we wanted him to get the job, and eventually he did get it.” Nails it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
