Celtic have thrown their support behind manager Neil Lennon, having released a statement on Monday claiming he will not be sacked.
The Bhoys are in dire form at the moment, and only managed to draw 11- with St Johnstone on Sunday afternoon.
Lennon has crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers to Ferencvaros, been dumped out of the Scottish League Cup by Ross County and is out of the Europa League after conceding 17 times in five games.
Add in that Celtic lost at home to Rangers and now sit 13 points behind their bitter rivals, and Lennon is truly clinging on to his job.
Celtic seemingly have no plans to sack Lennon in the coming weeks having publicly backed him, but one name is being linked with the job.
90Min claim that Celtic are eyeing Ipswich Town boss Paul Lambert, who featured more than 250 times for the Bhoys in his playing days.
Lambert currently has Ipswich third in League One, but has won just 32% of his games in charge, and has struggled for prolonged success since leaving Norwich City in 2012.
Celtic fans have been taking to Twitter to discuss such a move, suggesting that it’s a ‘lack of ambition’ and Lambert ‘shouldn’t be anywhere near Parkhead’.
Others think Lambert would be a disaster and makes Lennon look like a great manager based on his work in England.
