Gary Holt's resignation should leave Celtic manager Neil Lennon in deep thought

You can’t help but tip your hat to former Livingston manager Gary Holt for his mature and dignified exit from Livingston earlier today. Holt’s Livi had been in a bad way. A dreadful 1-0 home loss to St Mirren left them with four defeats in their last five Premiership games and only two wins in…

I suppose neil lennon see’s this is as his chance of going down in celtic history as being the manager who delivered ten in a row but he risks being the manager who blew ten in a row. Celtic owe neil nothing as they have provided him with the opportunitys from that night against Barcelona, champions league group qualification twice, winning league and cups for celtic both as player and manager(he is in good company as being a dual manager alongside a celtic legend in Billy mc neill) as well as being financially set up for life. Neil on the other hand owes celtic everything. For the sake of your reputation at celtic please admit to yourself it’s not working out second time around (just like Billy’s 2nd spell) and resign for the good of the club.

Totally agree Stephen. Neil has in the past done a great job for Celtic and put some tremendous building blocks in place after the disastrous Mowbray era in particular. He’s also managed to make Celtic millions in the past through big-money player sales such as Fraser Forster, Victor Wanyama, and Virgil van Dijk to name a few. That’s not counting the money he’s made from previous qualification success into the Champions League.

But we can’t keep looking at the past when it comes to Lennon. The present is just as important, and things haven’t been working all season. The results may only recently be catching up with the performances, but we’ve been poor all season in truth. Even when we were winning games over the first two months of the campaign, the warnings were there against the likes of Ferencvaros, Kilmarnock, Riga, and Sarajevo in particular.

Nothing is improving - it’s most definitely time to go.
