Celtic supporters aren’t feeling the love on Valentine’s Day

It may be Valentine’s Day, but there doesn’t appear to be much love for Celtic’s Twitter account.

Fans have been responding to official tweets in recent weeks with demands for Neil Lennon to leave the club, and the manager is still on their minds today.

Lennon has overseen a recent upturn in form, but it appears to have come too late to provide a title challenge with Rangers now potentially just four wins away from being crowned Premiership champions.

The club posted a tweet wishing fans a happy Valentine’s Day on Sunday morning, and received some interesting responses below.

Celtic can cut Rangers‘ lead to 18 points when they face St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park this afternoon.

The Saints added to Lennon’s woes back in December, securing a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park to make it a month without victory in any competition for the champions.

Ahead of today’s game, Lennon was quoted by the club’s official website as saying: “St Johnstone are a difficult team at times to break down. I thought we should have won the game at Celtic Park but we conceded a poor goal near the end from our point of view.

“You don’t take many goals off them this season because they are so well-structured, and they had a really good win at Livingston as well, ending their run, so it’s a tough game for us.

“But if we keep up this momentum and the players stay in the top of their form, then we look more like the team we were at this time last year – rampant, strong, quality and that’s all we’re asking from them now.”

Today’s match is a 12pm kick-off.
