The Celtic fans have saluted the Green Brigade for their latest protest outside Parkhead although they got a lot of criticism the last time around.
Celtic find themselves in a terrible spot at the moment. They have managed just two wins from their last eleven games in all competitions while losing six of them.
As a result, they are already out of the Europa League as well as the Scottish League Cup. And also find themselves 11 points behind the Rangers in the Premiership table with their two games in hand being their only ray of hope right now. Of course, this was the last thing that they needed in a season when they are aiming to secure a historic tenth straight league title.
Naturally, the majority of the fanbase wants Neil Lennon to be sacked. Yet he has continued in his position in manager despite no sign of improvement in the team’s result.
A while back, the Green Brigade held up a banner in front of Parkhead asking for the manager to leave. Back then, they had failed to gain support from a large portion of the fan base. This time though, the picture is quite different.
Don’t think anyone can argue with the Green Brigade statement this time round? Spot on in my opinion 👏🍀

In fact, they have been commended for their latest banner showing a Zoom call between Lennon, Lawwell and Desmond while the Celtic support has lost connection, clearly depicting how the club appear to have lost touch with the demands of their fans. They also had a stinging statement to go with it.
What makes things worse is the fact that there were rumours that he was set to be shown the exit door after Celtic’s defeat at the hands of Ross County that sent them out of the League Cup in the second round itself. But the protests outside the stadium was what changed the board’s mind as they were unwilling to bow to fan pressure.
Now, there are two ways to look at it. On one hand, sacking Lennon then might have set a dangerous precedent which could have led to violent protests in the future whenever things are not going the Hoops’ way. But on the other hand, it is arguable that ultimately the board didn’t take the decision in the best interests of the club.
