First game I've watched where Hayes has been top notch.

Great achievement. HH.

Rarely watched Celtic but watched this. Tough enough game but just had a wee bit more quality. Good finish from Eduardo.

Scott brown is hard to like. Doesn't really cover himself in glory with his behaviour.

And what behaviour was that

Hound

Should have been 5 trebles in a row. This was the first year there was any competition, so kudos to that, the best treble to date.
Hearts keeper was awful, which was key to getting over the line today.

Main Street

 Edouard patiently baited the hearts goalie, even the ref had time to get into a position to have a grandstand view of the  goalie falling for the oldest trick in the book, time seemed to stand still just before the goalie lunged at Edouard.

It's a tremendous achievement to get the triple xxx, but Celtic made heavy weather of it today and way too much hoofing the ball up to Edouard.
Pity Rodgers couldn't stay to the end of this season, take the triple crown plaudits and bid  a fond farewell.

So it's Lennon. Not who I wanted but I will get behind him. Hopefully the board back him in the transfer market

Celtic probably struggled to attract anyone to the position. It's not exactly a challenge. It suits a manager who has maybe designs on rebuilding their career after a horror time at another club. Rodgers, Steve McLaren etc. Obviously they have to a strong enough character to deal with the sectarianism as well.
Congrats on winning all the trophies though.

We don't want or need your patronising congratulations.

As a supporter, Brown tries to be the hard man - snarling at opposition players etc.  At the end of yesterday's game, he was at it again,  trying to wind up the Heart's sub.

He should just concentrate on playing football - no snarling in big European Champions League games where he doesn't get a kick of the ball.  Last 2 Rangers games, his impact was zero.

Needs to show some humility, like Henrik or Lubo.

Did you copy and paste that from the daily mail ? The challenge is to win every competition every year. There's a long list of players and managers who started out with your attitude but quickly changed their minds when they arrived at celtic. I've no doubt its the exact same over on the dark side too.

I'm not thrilled with Lennon but if they weren't getting a top tier man then its probably a sensible choice. Celtic can't wait another day as the CL qualifiers start in July. They can't hang around waiting to see who is coming and going. That squad needs serious investment

In fairness to Lennon, he signed some good players when he was previously Celtic manager. Van Dijk, Victor Wanyama, Fraser Foster, Gary Hooper. Celtic made a good profit on those players.

He is a loose cannon along the sideline though. Needs to stop getting involved.

f**king hell!
Some blow ins to this thread. Stop reading and believing the media crap about NL or Broonie. Actually take time to watch Scottish football and then come back and comment.
Didn't want Lennon again but let's hope he has learned from past experience. Recruitment is key as past two transfer windows have been diabolical, although I have high Hopes for Shved and to a lesser extent Bayo.

He is passionate along the line. He's competitive. So was Alex Ferguson. There are rules there if he transgresses. However I think it's important to challenge the narrative that he is some sort of monster along the line. That narrative is promoted by the sectarian racist bigots who have targeted him for years. Racism/sectarianism has no place in a sporting environment and if it was directed towards black players there'd rightly be an outcry. 

Neil Lennon has the support of the players, an excellent cv, a good eye for a player, and is now a mature and experienced manager, who deserves the backing of supporters and most importantly the board, to make Celtic competitive in Europe again ( for which he has a great track record) , he's not perfect but all things considered the smart choice.

He uses this as an act to mask his ability as a footballer. He's very limited.

That's a fancy way of saying the striker took a dive!!!

The fancy way is to say he was anticipating the tackle, not diving :) But to most every observer of that incident opine that it was a fair penalty, that the goalie dived in and clattered Edouard, who patiently exacted perfect timing, thus avoiding most of the potentially leg breaking contact.
