Got to be lot of happy campers in Perth tonight, okay St Johnstone didn't win but a draw is still not a bad result.

Good to see celtic rally to get the equaliser and shows they still have a bit of grit after their recent results, I am sure that result will save Lennon's job and a lot of the celtic supporters will see the positives in a draw.

Looking forward to the 2019 cup final.

Seems they are not just happy at chasing Rangers they want to now chase the celtic team bus, unbelievable Jeff.

Seemingly there was a small crowd complaining outside Parkhead after the game, but Lennon told them to get back on the team bus

Happy - yes indeed, always going to feel a little frustrated losing a late equaliser - but usual pattern for Saints would have been to let another in and go away empty-handed. That we didn’t shows a good mindset and organisation that should see us OK this season.

your continual gloating is getting pretty boring. funny how you barely posted about football while celtic were winning the last 11 domestic trophies, now you can't shut up about it.

I watched the game yesterday, you were never in any danger of conceding a late winner. the equaliser was a fluke, and celtic could have played all night without scoring.

I thought the poster was trying to be positive about Celtic's improvement in form and the result.

As a Saints supporter there is never a 'never in any danger' - nonetheless it's good to hear

I'm sure you did.

Agreed.

I think it was dripping in sarcasm.

I still can't believe some of the nonsense coming from both sets of OF fans at the moment. Celtic are on a bad run and Rangers a good run but there's effectively only 7 points in it and lots of football to be played.

Lennon still has the best record of any Celtic manager since Martin O'Neill and it's basically the same team that won the league comfortably in the end last year. I'm certainly hoping we won't see a repeat of Rangers' post-Xmas collapse but it's not hard to see Celtic clicking again and applying some pressure.

Lennon has completely lost the plot. 2 wins in his last 12 games. No home win since Sept. No idea what his best 11 is or what his best formation is. No tactics to speak of, and he is throwing the players under a bus on a weekly basis. Yesterday he was claiming the players are not fit enough - in December! - who's fault is that then?

 

[rudebhoy]

It's strange though, I thought he always did a good job for Celtic. Is it just stress now that Rangers seem to have finally got their act together enough to mount a serious challenge? Or has something else happened.

Weird year with covid throwing up all sorts of strangeness. Manager heading into a cup final to clinch a quadruple treble and the big question is whether he'll be fired before then or not.

He got lucky last season when Rangers fell apart after NY. 10 in a row is/was much more important to the support than winning another cup. The shambolic league and CL/EL form should have seen him punted weeks ago. Covid has actually done him a favour, this would have turned far uglier far sooner with a full stadium.

Tell you something - it's great not feeling I have to obsess about how my club's main rival club is doing and judging my club's performance against that of that rival club...which is quite easy as Dundee aren't in the SPL - this year anyway.

And as Saints beat Dundee Utd in the Scottish Cup Final of 2014 (did I mention Saints have won the cup - once) then we already know the top club on Tayside (OK they are a wee bit ahead at the moment but that's OK - they are not Dundee )

 

[HankMarvin]

Good news for celtic Park tonight, I think its the correct decision and shows that the board will not be bullied by the Green Brigade who seem to be the ones causing all the trouble.
Ten in a row seems to be an obsession that is having a major impact on the fans who think its their God given right.

Watched the highlights of the Saintees Rangers game last night.
Some fantastic open football from both teams and some great keeping by both the goalies.

You've obviously got quite a few Sportscene recordings to catch up on, Rangers and St Johnstone haven't played since August...

Do the Celtic fans no harm at all to know what losing feels like. Going to every game thinking how many will we win by today is not football.
The reason the old firm was/is a great rivalry was intense competition. It even drove both teams to the top of European football in late 60s early 70s. All home grown lads too.
This is the first season in a long long time that it's not looking like a green and white procession to the title, I for one as a Dons fan like that.
Agreed there is ample time for Celtic and Lennon to turn this league season around however I think Rangers will get there this time, they do look decent this season.
Not Lennon's fault Rangers have improved 30% on last year.
