Celtic boss Neil Lennon has signed Mohamed Elyounoussi from Southampton on loan until the end of the season.

Mohamed Elyounoussi of Celtic looks on prior to the Betfred Cup Final between Rangers FC and Celtic FC at Hampden Park on December 08, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic fans have suggested that Neil Lennon is playing Mohamed Elyounoussi in totally the wrong position.

Elyounoussi has been used a striker for Celtic recently, and his form has suffered a result.

The Southampton loanee made a wonderful start to life with the Bhoys, but since he picked up an injury back in November, he hasn’t been as effective.

Part of the reason for that is because Lennon has changed system, with Celtic now lining up with two strikers.

Most of Elyounoussi’s recent showings have been in partnership with Odsonne Edouard up-front, but he has failed to really show his best there.

Elyounoussi struggled for Celtic against Livingston last night, as the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.

And Bhoys fans think that Lennon is now using the Norwegian in totally the wrong position.

Celtic may not have beaten Livingston last night, but they still extended their lead at the top of the table.

Lennon’s men are now 13 points clear of their nearest challengers, Rangers, and look well on their way to winning a ninth successive title.
