I think your spot on with the points you make , especially this top 6 pish .. There is a gap between ourselves and the likes of Aberdeen and possibly the Huns at the moment but nothing that cannot be changed with good summer signings and a real belief that we can challenge up there next season.

Last season's "SKOOSH" comes to mind!
Ambition is and always will be inevitable for all teams at the start of a new campaign, but were new to a better league than where we were.
The other teams have what it takes to survive in it, but maybe no ambition to realistically win it.
We have to first test ourselves on a weekly basis against those teams, as we found out in the last 2 seasons a good win against top opposition then bad results in the games after were not uncommon?
If we set the bar to high and we get a string of bad results, we could have the fans on the players backs as last season proved, so better to secure a stay in the league next season and not get to carried away with 2nd and 3rd talk.
Unless of course that we are signing the Man City reserve team and Messi, that could maybe put Celtic in a sticky position!!!!

We support one of the top five clubs in the country and it's time we started acting like it.

For Lennon to be a Winner we would have to finish 2nd or 3rd?
Realistically we should finish 4th given St Johnstone have a fraction of our budget and Hearts have destroyed their team and will lose most of the remaining good players in the summer.
New Signings and lost players this summer could change my predictions radically for Hibs, Rangers, Aberdeen Hearts. Time will tell.
I had a look at kickback yesterday to see what players the forum users thought their club should sign.
I am happy to report that many of their suggestions are as unrealistic as those made on this forum .

I think if we had been in the Premiership and Lennon took over then what OP said about second being 'winning' would be a fair point.
But considering we're just going up after three years in the SC I think he should be given a bit more leeway than that. I know the club is in a good place at the moment and we should set our sights high, but in the last twenty years we've finished in the top 4 four times (two 3rd places and two 4th places).
In that context, top 4 would be a success. I think we're good enough to finish 3rd, but if we don't it certainly wouldn't be failure.

I love arguing with you but I can't argue with this.
Obviously Celtc are in a class of one at the moment but Hibs really should be in contention for a top 4 place and keeping our strong cup performances going.
