‘Humbled and Honoured,’ Neil Lennon on being the Celtic Manager

“HUMBLED” CELTIC Manager Neil Lennon has released a personal message to the Celtic Support this afternoon on the official Celtic website, as the club launches its season ticket campaign for season 2020/21.

Here’s what the Celtic manager has had to say and it’s a great wee read…

A CAUSE. A CULTURE. A CALLING – A MESSAGE FROM THE CELTIC MANAGER NEIL LENNON…

This time last year I was given the opportunity to return to the Club I have always loved. The challenge was there. The Club was aiming to secure an unprecedented Trinity of Trebles.

It was an absolute honour to be called upon to help deliver this and we were delighted to clinch the Scottish Premiership title, lift the Scottish Cup and celebrate another momentous season for the Club.

These special moments are what we live for as Celtic supporters.

I looked around Hampden and felt humbled – and honoured – that I had been given the responsibility to deliver days like these.

As a player, captain and manager, I have been fortunate to experience these moments. To see the players, the fans, the whole Club, united together in celebration and success is a fantastic feeling. It brings me great pride.

This Club is my life and bringing success to Celtic will always be my goal. My overriding aim will always be to give our fans exciting, attacking, winning football, to always be the dominant team in the country and to continue to bring you trophies.

What this group of players has achieved so far is nothing short of incredible. Ten trophies in a row is unprecedented and this season we have lifted the League Cup, performed brilliantly in the League and enjoyed a very positive European run against some high-quality opposition.

I am so proud to have played a part in this, but we couldn’t do it without you. In fact, none of this is possible without your support.

I know what the Club means to you and I know what your support means to us. We share the same love, passion and respect for our great Club. It is a Club like no other and its culture, its ethos and its values are qualities we all share.

We will always want the best for our Club but, first and foremost, we will always be Celtic supporters. It means so much to us both and it is part of us. It is our cause. It is our calling.

We want you with us at Celtic Park once again to continue our journey together. We want you beside us at Paradise, one of world football’s great arenas, to enjoy more great Celtic occasions.

Join us again and I can assure you, myself, my backroom team, the players and everyone else at Celtic, will continue to do all we can to give you a Club you can be proud of.
Thank you for everything.

Neil Lennon, Manager

CORONAVIRUS AND SCOTTISH FOOTBALL EXPLAINED…

AND ON A SERIOUS MATTER…

You may have missed this from Sunday evening, but it is well worth reading today. Malcolm Rodger, a survivor of child abuse abuse in Scottish football talks us through how he believes that all the survivors can get justice and how this sordid, disgraceful subject can be concluded once and for all. Please read and if you are minded to do so, please support him in trying to reach his target.
