Celtic this season.One look at the virtue signalling going on in Dingwall on Sunday night, when Neil Lennon’s very last hopes of some miraculous recovery were completely snuffed out, really said it all.Diego Laxalt allowing Jordan White to give him the slip at a set piece to thud home Ross County’s winner, then throwing his hands in the air as if someone else ought to have been doing his defending for him, perfectly summed up a campaign which started badly and which is ending in unimaginable

Charlie Nicholas has urged his old club to make an announcement about the managerial situation rather than leaving Neil Lennon to be the "fall guy".Defeat to Ross County on Sunday night piled even more pressure on the Parkhead boss, with a growing number of fans calling for him to go.A promised review has not been made public as Celtic assure they will not take any hasty decisions.But Nicholas feels leaving Lennon in limbo has turned him into the fall guy for a 10 In A Row dream turned

Celtic's struggles this season could be down to the differences in managerial styles of Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon.The Livingston captain played under the Hoops boss when he was in charge at Hibs and describes him as a motivator but "not a manager who greatly believes in tactics".This is in stark contrast to the tactical intensity of Rodgers who would relentlessly drill his players in where to move across the pitch.With a large portion of the squad that was so successful under the now
