Some Celtic fans are very delighted at how well manager Neil Lennon is doing at the club and feel that he is doing well enough to prove his detractors wrong.
The Hoops recently picked up another win in the Premiership recently, thanks to goals from Ryan Christie and Olivier Ntcham against Hearts. The Bhoys haven’t lost a single Premiership game since their loss to Livingston two months ago.
With a year coming to an end, it has been about ten months since Neil Lennon returned to the club to replace Brendan Rodgers.
Celtic fans: Has Neil Lennon proved you wrong?
He's done a fantastic job!
Too early yet
And some fans are delighted at how Lennon has done since he took over. They feel he is doing well to prove sceptics wrong.
That win ratio is ridiculous!!considering we gifted the Rangers an Ibrox won because it was effectively already job done

He proved me wrong, I was convinced we would be taking a step back with his appointment, Not at all.. This football (particularity in Europe) is a throwback to the O’Neill days.
I think even a double this season (including the title) would be a great season.

And me… delighted to have been proved so so very wrong. Long may it continue…

He’s doing an absolutely stellar job so far, but he will be judged purely (rightly or wrongly) on winning or losing the league in May.

Agreed. Im absolutely eating my words and loving the fact that i am! Hes been outstanding!

Has done way better than I expected and season going well so far but he will be judged in May as to success or failure of the season. Great football is fantastic but without 9 in a row it’s irrelevant

The end of the season I think is always the best time to judge.

Lennon took over the club in February, days after former boss Rodgers had left to join Leicester City in the Premier League. Rodgers’ Foxes side are currently in the top four in the Premier League and could be potentially challenging for the title.
Lennon helped the club win the Premiership at the end of last season and has already won them the League Cup by beating Rangers last month. He also helped the club win the Scottish Cup at the end of last season.
Lennon’s side have already progressed to the next round of the UEFA Europa League and they’ve made history already by finishing top of their group for the first time in history.
In his first stint at the club, Lennon had won the Premiership title three times. He had also won the Scottish Cup once.
What do we think?
Lennon has done very well so far in his second stint. There were people who doubted his abilities when he returned, especially since they had come out of Rodgers’ golden era. But the way Celtic have played has been worth appreciation. While the end of the season will be a better time for judgement, but he deserves credit for how things are now.
