Journalist Ryan McGinley has slammed former Hoops boss Neil Lennon after a recent interview with PLZ Soccer, stating he is ‘sick to death’ of hearing the manager’s excuses.
Celtic have enjoyed an incredible return to form this season under new boss Ange Postecoglou as they look set to attain their 52nd Scottish Premier League title, currently sitting top of the table, six points ahead of bitter rivals Rangers who won the title last season.
Their form has come a long way after their abysmal 2020/21 season under Lennon, which saw them fall second to their aforementioned rivals, losing out on the SPL title by an incredible 25 points, with all hopes of coming back seemingly gone with Lennon at the wheel.
Recently Lennon has told his side of the story as to why last season went so badly, saying in an interview on PLZ soccer’s YouTube channel, “I just felt that I was treated a little bit unfairly by some section of the support and some sections of the media… the lockdown came and things just began to unravel”.
Since the interview, journalist McGinley took to social media and slammed the former manager for his excuses as well as the media for using it to ‘wind up’ the fans.
He stated on Twitter, “Sick to death of hearing Lennon’s excuses for last season’s capitulation, which he personally steered!
“Publications fully knowing what they’re doing by using him to wind up Celtic fans on social media.
“We’ve all moved on, can’t they?”
Was McGinley right to slam Lennon?Yes

TIF Thoughts on the video…
While Celtic fans may feel annoyed and even angry at the comments made by Lennon and the media for publishing it the team has come a long way under Postecoglou and look to be as good, if not better than they were during Lennon’s best seasons at the club.
With this in mind, Celtic fans can be happy with where their club is at seeing as this time last season they were in dark times that seemingly had no end to them considering their form and the squad they were watching play week in, week out.
They look to have another SPL title on the way and can enjoy another season of Champions League football next season with a manager and team that has the capability to go far in both the domestic and European competitions.
