Neil Lennons Managerial record to date!

Managed 60 games
Won 46 games(77%)
Drawn 6 games(10%)
Lost 8 games(13%)

Goals scored 131
Goals conceded 48
GD + 83

His league game record alone is:
Managed 46 SPL games
Won 37 SPL games(80%)
Drawn 5 SPL games(11%)
Lost 4 SPL games(9%)

SPL goals scored 104
SPL goals conceded 28
116/138 SPL points
GD + 76

The above is our higest points tally for 6 years and is more than every single tally we achieved when we won 3iar under Gordon Strachan,most clean sheets in a season for a decade also.

4 derby victories against Rangers in a year,only just losing out in extra time in 1 final and on the verge of winning the Scottish Cup.

Won more european games in his short 4 game managerial career in Europe than the 'legendary' Walter Smith has done in the last 21!

Not to mention the total unifcation and galvanisation of the Celtic support and the inspired signings!

I think we'll keep him again for next season...

No wonder the Huns dislike him so much - he scares the bejaysus out of them! 

[Minder]

Hopefully they clean their act up for next season.

4th page?

I'm not a big fan of Celtic or indeed spl but well done and it was great to see the smile on Lennon's face as the cup was lifted there.

[Milltown Row2]

Yes well done Celtic, Not a fan myself but as EC Unique said was good to see Lennon smiling.

On the match, it was dire, played in crap conditions though that won't matter to the fans.

Celtic do have some good talent there, so I'd expect them to lift the league title next year

[Sheedy]

delighted for lenny. great to see him smiling.

Gil Scott Heron has died but a thing I didn't know was about his father. 

Scott-Heron's Jamaican father, Gilbert "Gil" Heron, nicknamed "The Black Arrow", was a football (soccer) player who, in the 1950s, became the first black athlete to play for Glasgow's Celtic Football Club. 

Is he remembered much at Celtic?

Good news for the young lads.


Barcelona test for Celtic's under-19 players
Date: 01 June 2011
By Angus Wright

CELTIC Under-19s will take on their Barcelona counterparts in an innovative Champions League-style competition next season.

Organised following a successful pilot project during last season - one of the matches saw the young Celtic side beat Liverpool Under-19s 3-0 at Celtic Park - the tournament will see the top youth teams in Europe face one another in four groups of four, before progressing on to a knock-out stage in January, hosted in the Middle East, which will be shown live on TV.

Tommy McIntyre and Stevie Frail's side - who won a league and cup double in the season just finished - have been drawn against Barcelona, Manchester City and Marseille. Supporters will be able to attend the matches, which could be held at Celtic Park - dependent on the first-team's fixtures.

"It's fantastic and something we have been part of from the very beginning," said Celtic head of youth Chris McCart. "It's a really difficult group and we are going to have six excellent games of the very highest standard.

"Our purpose is to try to develop a Champions League player and it will expose them to that and replicate what that's like at first-team level. It's exciting but it's going to be a strong and difficult challenge when you look at the investments of Barcelona and Man City, who spends tens of millions on their academies.

"But we are confident the players will gain experience which will be vital to them in terms of the style of play and the travelling.

"We can also offer players the opportunity of playing against the likes of Barcelona and Man City on the big stage and in stadia, so it's excellent from our recruitment point of view, too. We have signed up to it for the next three years and we are really excited about it."

Is anyone heading down to Dublin for the Super Cup?  Hearing there is some decent deals for the trip.

Anyone here a current season ticket holder for parkhead or indeed a recent season ticket holder?  PM me if you have I have a few questions for you :-)

Thanks

There was a lot of trouble outside the stadium that night as well as inside it. It also escalated the situation where the knuckledraggers started sending devices to Neil Lennon

[Forever Green]

Neil Lennon signs new contract. Great news but he must deliver the title this season imo. Hopefully will not have to put up with the same shite he did last year
