The St Mirren game aside, what a great day to be a Celtic fan.
And lets face it, the game was pretty meaningless in the grand scale of things. The League is already over, and perhaps the defeat in Paisley just brought the inevitable to a head.
Celtic have offloaded a desperately underachieving manager, brought in - two, not only fans favourites, but great players, tactically aware, determined and influential characters to steady the ship till the dry land of the close season is found. Lennon and Mjallby have the chance to see if they can show theyve got what it takes (in from a Celtic point of view, is a relatively pressureless environment) from now until the end of the season.
Yes, I would expect an experienced manager to be installed in the summer, however Lennon must be thinking if he can win every match from now to then, he could be in with a shout. Certainly wont do him any harm.
For the new management duo, the most important thing is the balance of the team they put onto the park. There is no doubt that Celtic have the best squad in Scotland, it is certianly the case that Mobray struggled to make a functioning X1 out of them.
The importance of a single match does seem crazy. At a club like Celtic one result can be the difference between being sacked and keeping your job - its easily concievable that had Celtic won yesterday that Mowbray could have been Celtic manager after the close season.
Four goal defeats are unnacceptable, I dont suppose anyone has to tell Neil that.
Good Luck Lenny
