Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to reveal their pessimism over Eddie Howe’s chances of replacing Neil Lennon, after last night’s events.
On Monday evening, Newcastle succumbed to their fourth successive defeat under Steve Bruce after losing 3-0 to Arsenal.
It was the Magpies’ seventh defeat in nine games, with things looking very bleak under the ex-Sunderland boss right now.

Of course, if that happens, Peter Lawwell would no longer be able to appoint him as Lennon’s replacement.
Ex-Celtic striker Mark Burchill – who works at Howe’s former side Bournemouth as a scout – recently said that the ex-Burnley boss would be enticed by managing at Celtic Park.
He is certainly an option for the role if Lennon goes, in our view.
