An awful decision from Celtic.

Only if you don't think Celtic haven't regressed under Lennon

No they regressed under Rodgers. Lennon steadied the ship.

I think it might too.

I thought they were giving the job to Moyes?

They've got considerably worse. And I'm happy about that.

Well done Lenny. Did everything that was asked of him at Celtic by winning all the key games and he's deservedly got the job. I'd have loved to see them stick a few goals past the yams today, but p**h as Hearts are I guess nerves were always going to affect Celtic when the treble treble was at stake.

I remain bemused by those who feel Lennon didn't do a good job at Hibs overall too. A club record top flight league points tally was no mean achievement.

Lenny did a good job at Hibs for me.
Yes the results dipped a bit latterly and him moving on was prob right

Why are you laughing?

Rodgers left Celtic with a 8 point lead.
Lennon won the league with a 9 point gap.

Rodgers Celtic were poor. He's to blame for their poor performance this season.

Before Lennon this season(domestically):

P - 33
W - 26
D - 3
L - 4
GF - 80
GA - 13
GD - +67
Win % - 78%

With Lennon:

P - 14
W - 10
D - 3
L - 1
GF - 20
GA - 6
GD - +14
Win % - 71%

I don't think the stats really back up your argument. Results wise they essentially flatlined under Lennon but their ability to score goals dropped away dramatically.

Nerves? Celtic where back to front rank rotten, Lennon out done by Potter as usual and got lucky big time against the worst football team in a final for years. They got out thought out played and got lucky as anything thankfully. Lennon did do a good job at us, latterly a shambles and didn’t have a clue how to put out a side. Always an excuse for him too. I’m delighted for Scottish football they’ve somehow managed to give the guy the full time managers job. What a belter of a day.

Jeez. And ten of Lennon's 14 were against top six teams. You can do anything with stats.

It's marginal, but Rodger's team was poor compared to previous seasons. Lennon, like Heckingbottom, inherited a team that should be doing better. Next season will be interesting for both managers.

It doesn't really. His 1st spell at Celtic is characterised far more by what he didn't achieve than what he did. Cup final defeats to Kilmarnock and Rangers, semi final defeats to Ross County and Hearts and an early round exit to Morton in the LC as well. He also finished behind Rangers in 1 of the 2 full seasons he competed against them.

Celtic fans love the man but they absolutely don't want him back as manager.

Interesting stats, thanks. I was wondering this morning about his record at Celtic in domestic cups competitions in the fear that he might crap it today.

He nearly did...

I'm not really sure what your point is.

Mine is simple. There wasn't a ship to be steadied. Celtic were pretty sensational in the early part of this season despite dropping a little from the previous 2 seasons. After losing to Killie in September they went unbeaten for 9 games and scored 30 goals. After that run ended, against Hibs, they won 10 of their next 11 scoring 28 goals in the process. Lennon took over at that point.

Lennon carried on the job that was already being done. He didn't 'steady the ship' because there was no ship to be steadied. Celtic were comfortably top of the league and in excellent form when he arrived.

Yes and Rodgers left Celtic with a 8 point lead.
Lennon won the league with a 9 point gap.

All of this debate started because some were critical of Lennon. I'm merely pointing out that the slide started with Rodgers. Celtic have not been as clinical this season compared to others.

So your 1st paragraph means we agree. To all intents and purposes Celtic flatlined under Lennon, which was the point I made in my inital reply.

Rodgers built up an 8 point lead over a period of about 25 games I presume it was? So about a point of a lead for every 3 games played.

Lennon built up a 1 point lead over a period of about 13 or whatever it was. So a point of a lead for every 13 games played.

At that rate Rodgers would have won the league by about 12. Lennon on his teams form would have won it by 3. So surely that would show that they didn’t improve and they regressed?

**Hibee Mac** · 25-05-2019 07:01 PM

Their football has taken a slide since he took over.

Glad we're shot of him, it might work for a season but his style of management is unsustainable, as we saw at Hibs.

**Glory Lurker** · 25-05-2019 07:02 PM

Cheap bubbly wine corks popping all around Ibrox. 9 in a row stopped already. A dodgy penalty and a breakaway to beat one of the most anti-football teams in the league.

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 25-05-2019 07:02 PM

NHC missing from thread title.

Nothing dodgy about their penalty.

Total pen. Certainly in modern football.

Am I the only person confused about the concern on here about The Rangers and Celtic?

Seems to be a weird level of genuine concern around how their fans feel about todays result.

Odd considering we all support Hibs

Maybe just me.

Ok. I thought it was. For the sake of argument, let's say it was a stonewaller. Still overall a brutal performance against a terrible team. Rodgers Celtic would have destroyed them. He just is not a football manager.

Why does the level of performance of a Celtic team bother you? Genuine question.
