Definitely a good point. Agree or not, Dylan played the best football of his career under Lennon, earning a call up to the national squad for his effort. Funny how rumor becomes “fact” regarding him falling out with Lennon.

Dylan was not a fan of Lennon that is 100% correct. Source Dylan.

Dylan had a hip imbalance similar to that of Robert Snodgrass, who gave him the name of a specialist which helped him. He was doing specialist exercises to combat his hip problem which then seen him play more often.



From what I was told Dylan didn't get on with Lennon and didn't appreciate being called out on his injury problem, suggesting it was all in his head and he was making up his hip problems.

Was Lennon not the one who signed Dylan for Celtic?

Strange as his game time lately has been nearly zero.

You can still call a player the teams 'best player' while they're not available for selection. Even if you look at that mackem board, which isn't going to be very positive at the moment, you'll see plenty of them saying similar, he makes their team better whenever he's on the pitch.

He was but Dylan was an 18 year old then and he had been at the club at a youth before his wee jaunt at Rangers, so I don't know how much dealings he had with Lennon then and maybe Lennon was a different manager back then.

Lennon went to his mum & dads house to resign Dylan when he turned 18.

Do not think for one minute that Dylan was not the only one that had problems with Lennon

So he WAS the only one?

Is it fair to say you maybe don’t know then?

I do know that he didn't get on with Lennon in his final year, relationships do sometimes deteriorate and quite a few posters have confirmed this happened with the of them last season.

If you were a Victorian.

Well, we were formed in 1875.

Coincidence or not, Dylan excelled himself after that.

[Since452]

Remember when Dylan was being announced in Scotland squads.... in hindsight Sunderland was a terrible move

[Seveno]

Was it just coincidence that Dylan played his best and injury free football in the final year of his contract?

In the newspapers, Lennon alluded that McGeough's injuries could be more psychological rather than physical. I remember thinking, although he may be right I would imagine it wouldn't go down that well with DM. Reading between the lines i don't know if that was the gist of any fallout.

Seen a specialist to help his hip problem, same one Snodgrass used to help him.

It seems to be, he had a hip imbalance which needed specialist treatment, didn't take kindly being called a liar.

I wonder if the specialist can explain the medical reasons behind why his only non-injury-blighted season in recent years was the one when he was in the final year of his contract playing for a big move?

Probably because he didn't find out about the specialist until last season. You do know he placed well before he seen this guy, unfortunately in spurts due to injury, the fact he played well most of last season was down to this

Pretty poor comment IMO. It was fairly obvious that DM was suffering some pretty serious and repetitive muscle injuries. If it is true that he had to seek and pay for treatment privately while Lennon was suggesting the injuries were in his head then it's no wonder he left. Lennon has also questioned other players' fitness and injury records and I'm sure that would have played a significant part in the breakdown of his relationship with he players.

I think he criticised Marciano when he went off injured not long after coming back from his hand injury so I would be surprised if Rocky wanted to go to Celtic Park (although money probably talks).

We've also not had Ryan Porteous when it should have been obvious that your knee popping out two or three times in a game probably isn't good.

That really annoyed me. 3 times he went down and it was blatantly obvious he was in agony. That's the kind of thing that could hinder him later on in his career.

You think he was faking injury for an entire year on loan here, then we gave him a 3 year deal (when he apparently only wanted 2 years initially) so he could continue to fake injury while we payed for it? Then he finally stopped faking it in the last season so a big English side would offer him more money?

Yeah, definitely happened.

The sniping at quite a lot of the Scottish Cup winning team amazes me. Cummings gets it, Fyvie gets it, Stubbs gets it - it amazes me.

They're all players/management that I'll forever have an almighty gratitude to considering what their efforts and success meant to my family and me.

McGeouch was a ****ing brilliant player and never, ever gave less than 100% for Hibs.

[Broken Gnome]

He's a devious snake. I mean, celebrates his semi-final goal against Aberdeen by faking a groin strain.

The other guy has it all wrong. The injury stuff was real. He was just faking being a damn good midfielder in the last year here so he could score some of those sweet, sweet, English League One megabucks after his contract ran out. He'll be faking it again when his Sunderland contract is near to running out, you mark my words!

That phoney ******* John McGinn is still faking being the best player in the English Championship! Villa had better wise up to him before it's too late.

This. Absolutely this.

[Smartie]

I loved Dylan as a player, and tbh I thought he made us tick more than John McGinn did. When he was fit and playing he was incredibly consistent and a huge part of our revival in recent years. He never hid, he never ever seemed to have a poor game.

Is it that unreasonable to question the fact that he's had one relatively injury free season in many, many years? In my opinion, if it wasn't for injury then we probably would never have had him in the first place as he is good enough to play regularly for Celtic.

We've had a few of these players when there have been suggestions of injuries being "in their head". That doesn't mean they're making it up but it can make them apprehensive about pushing themselves in training and in matches. Sometimes you get these mystery injuries where the player is complaining of a problem but the medical team cannot find an organic cause of the problem.

The much-maligned Jack Rodwell had similar issues. The club could find no cause of his problems, he'd claim not to be fit and the conclusion favoured by most was that he was a money grabbing get who just wanted to pick up his cash for giving the bare minimum.

I'm not saying this was the case with Dylan, but after his very good final season with us he's gone on to have another injury affected season, and when he has been fit he hasn't been able to make the type of impact that a player of his ability really should have done on league 1.

[HH81]

I seen him play other week at Accrington and he was one of Sunderland's better players. Surprised he not been involved much since.

What makes you think that he paid for treatment himself.Is this another.net FACT?

Did Paul Hanlon not have to do the same?

I seem to remember that the insurers nominate 'their' specialists, and if you want somewhere different then you have to pay yourself.

Just read that somewhere or other, not first hand.

[jeffers]

It wasn't just Lennon who thought it was all in his head, at least one of the former physios at Hibs thought the same.
