Neil Lennon in Celtic quit threat
“They were frustrated and I disagreed with them,” Lennon said. “I didn’t like what they were saying about the team. Look, if they’re not happy with what I am doing with the team I’ll go.”
Pressed on whether he would really consider giving up on a club he could lead into the Champions League last 16, he stated: “If the fans make it clear they’re not happy and want me out then, that’s OK, I’ll do the honourable thing. I think we are in four competitions. I am not happy with the league form, far from it. It’s my team at the end of the day, I take responsibility for it. I’ve got a good squad here. They are not performing to the level they are capable of.”

Hide AdLennon felt the abuse was not warranted. “I can’t repeat [it] because it’s a public forum. There were a lot of expletives in there. There was heavy criticism which I didn’t think was justified. A lack of patience with the team as well. If there was a lack of application, a lack of commitment I would be the first one to say, but I didn’t see that today. What I did see was a lack of composure and quality in our play in the final third.”
