Neil Lennon is under pressure at Celtic, so what happens next?
Celtic’s Champions League exit at the hands of Cluj was a near critical blow to Neil Lennon’s role at the club.
Lennon was an underwhelming appointment by Celtic, and he has a huge task ahead to steady the ship.
Unfortunately for Lennon, there could be far worse to come.
In just over a fortnight, on September 1, Celtic travel to rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.
Rangers beat Lennon’s Celtic in their last game at the end of last season, it was a dead rubber, but it gave the Light Blues added belief.
Rangers have begun this season well and have been scoring for fun.
How many might they be able to put past a Celtic defence which conceded four at home to Cluj?
Lennon needs to get Celtic back on track, and an away win over Rangers would go a long way to curing some of the resentment.
But a defeat, especially a clear cut one, could make Lennon’s position as Celtic boss untenable.
