It hurts to say it, but now I must join those who say that our Manager has to go. There can now be no possible excuse for a performance like that that was unacceptable from front to back, and from the first minute to the last. It must now be said that this cannot go on. This afternoon disgraced and humiliated the green and white jerseys in a way that makes one wonder just exactly what is going on.
The Manager now will go, whatever anyone says to defend him. But the players will still be with us and the finger has to be pointed at them as well. Either they are simply not good enough, or even worse, they were trying to get their manager sacked. There was no cohesion, no co-ordination and no understanding of each other, and surely they must realise that although there were no supporters at the ground today, there were tens and maybe even hundreds of thousands throughout the world upset, angry and shattered by that performance.
Sounds like Lennon waiting to be pushed rather than walk away. As an employee that’s his prerogative. Now it’s down to the CEO to act in the best interest of the club.

There were three good chances duly missed by Ajeti, Elyounoussi and Edouard. In a game like this, these chances really must be taken. The rest of the game was the predictable pumping of the high ball into the penalty box and it being headed away by a Ross County defence that knew exactly how to deal with it. From a very early stage in the second half, it was obvious that we simply lacked the quality, and no excuse now is possible. Diego Laxalt was simply not there today, and that is a shame because I thought there was something here.
It is as well that we have a glorious past to look back on, for we have no present, and the future looks even worse. The new Manager will more or less have to start again, for the present squad are going nowhere. Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie are possibly all that we really have at the moment. The rest are either sub-standard, or possibly something worse than that, their heart is not in it. For Celtic, a player has to want to play for the club, and a player has to appreciate the hurt that feckless performances cause.

But well done, Ross County! I hope they win the League Cup.
And does anyone wonder with me whether Michael Stewart is a crytpo-Celtic supporter? He seems to be concerned about them, and he certainly knows the game. How might he get on as a Manager? Maybe worth a thought.
