John Hartson has called on Celtic to shift a large proportion of the current first-team squad out of the club this summer. Celtic fans have had to endure a terrible Scottish Premiership season. Neil Lennon and Peter Lawwell have received their fair share of criticism. Hartson has been one of those calling for the manager…

Can it get any worse? The new manager (if there is one) will need a magic wand.

10 players!? I can’t see that happening, it would be really daft

This is a watershed moment so I think there will be major changes in the player pool. The 10 is gone so we should bit the bullet and make the changes. Hopefully we get an immediate return to dominance but rightly any new manager will look to be given time.

We could easily punt 10 just now, i would’ve sent all 3 loans back this window if possible. Barkas, Bain, el hamed, christie, ntcham, eddy and frimpong has left the building already. We’d still have enough to finish second and good money waiting on new manager.

Ajeti has barely played. Often, the games he did was during the months the strikers never got any service. Same goes for Klimala.

That’s changed now with the new formation and there’s now more interplay around the box.

I’d like to see him get a run.

That being said, Hartson knows what it takes to be a striker, so what the H do I know!

John, of course youre right it is daft to ship out 10 players the disturbing thing is every one of the ten is feasible. Re the first on the list Ntcham is he injured covid stricken or just discarded? He couldnt even make the bench today.

This is why our donkey board need to act now and get a new manager. It gives the new manager a long pre-season of assessing the players and who is buying into his ideas and where the team need to be strengthened. At the end of the 15/16 season we wanted half the team gone but when Brendan Rodgers was appointed he kept most the team and the players that looked done or not good enough where all of a sudden playing brilliantly. It goes to show what a class manager can do. On paper we have the best squad in the league, but that matters for nothing with a poor management team.
