Neil Lennon’s Celtic future appears to be seriously threatened after Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Ross County.
Lennon admitted that he is running out of time to change Celtic’s fortune after his team suffered a fifth loss in a 10-match period in which they only won twice.
The loss of the Betfred Cup sparked ugly scenes outside Celtic Park as hundreds of fans gathered to vent their anger.
Fans called for Lennon’s exit while large numbers of police officers formed a human shield as the players disembarked in the convoy.
The club said some players were « shaken » after being attacked by rockets, while police said two of their officers were injured in the protests. The footage showed some fans kicking the barriers and throwing them.
Lennon could hear fans telling him to leave when he entered the post-game media conference and knew the result would cast doubt on his future, despite majority shareholders Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell during a Zoom call received support on Friday.
A first defeat in 36 national cup games would not have caused any trouble on its own, but it did lead to a bad European campaign and, above all, to a slump in league form.
A defeat for the Rangers with a low-strength team was followed by a four-game tie against Aberdeen and Hibernian.
And a growing group of fans fear Lennon may not save their attempt to score a record 10 straight titles with Rangers’ 11 point deficit, albeit with two games in hand.
Lennon said after a fourth home defeat in a row: « I’ve been here long enough to know that for some reason we lack that certain something. « .
« Guess what, it’s not just this – for most of the season we haven’t played the football we’re capable of.
« I hope I’m here to change things because I want to do that asap. « . But obviously the results don’t help those opportunities. ”
Ryan Christie’s press conference was cut short when Celtic officials took him and his teammates out of the stadium when a police helicopter circled over the protester.
Before he was led away, Christie said, « I think the most important thing everyone needs to know is that we are still looking into it.
« When you do a run like this, people automatically say they don’t care about the club or that they are not doing their best while every single person on this court is absolutely desperate for a result to put things into To bring order.
« That’s why it’s so frustrating when people say we don’t care or we don’t do our best. « .
« Nobody would be in this club or have done so well in their professional career if they hadn’t had this attitude in every single game. « .
“It must be terrible when you sit at home and watch us, the team you like to see win every week.
« In the last few years it has been almost perfect. So when a run like this takes place it is a real shock to the system. ”
