We have alot of players out injured at the mo! so id like to see some of the youngsters we keep hearing about step up against hibs wed/sat. Give the boys a chance....

Would be a gamble but then playing any one of our defenders right now (bar IMO Mark Wilson and Rogne who Lennon seems to be reluctant to play) is a gamble. Not sure we're in that bad a crisis that we'd need to play youngsters but playing a youngster or two might bring a bit of hunger and desire to the team in the absence of Brown to drive the team on. James Forrest has been fantastic this season - his workrate for the most part has been excellent, and Matthews looks a good player and works hard albeit I'm not sure he should be playing over Wilson. I'd expect the same from other young players looking to cement a place and/or give Lennon another option or two.

Yeh i ment just play a few, or at least bring them on as sub!If stokes and hoops( who is struggling ) get injured we have no strikers....

The defenders cant do any worse that what weve seen so far this season!! And you might find another star!

Just noticed on the Companies House Website that there are two new companies as from today (25/10/2011) called Glasgow Rangers (Holdings) Ltd and Glasgow Rangers Ltd...

Is the end near?

Nice one Mr Moran . Your tricks will never fool the Rangers support.

Dream on, 4 in a row here we go.

I think we all know that Lenny is 1 or 2 bad results away from the inevitable and I hope if/when that happens he can leave with some dignity and be remembered for the great servant he has been to the club. There are a few top quality managers out of work just now and I would love to see Mark Hughes given the challenge on a long term contract.

Any thoughts?

I have been thinking of that too and Mark Hughes is a good shout although his wage demands may be a problem?
Ruling out O'Neill and Strachan who will probably not want to return; leaves the 'usual suspects' like O'Leary, R Keane and Curbishly who don't excite me and then there are the EPL strugglers Keane, McCarthy, Martinez and Coyle who may be available soon? But is that a good thing?... Apart from that Riikard and Bilic have been mentioned before (expensive) and then we get sentimental shouts for Lubo and Henke. It's a difficult - but necessary - decision in my opinion.

Jungle Jim

Forget Riijkard he is one of the highest paid managers in the world just now at that Anzhi - Makachkala team (the ones that are paying funny money to eto' is it 320k a week or something ?) the other manager u mention was the former manager of the richest team in the world ...... they wouldnt ever touch and SPL team

Germinator

Lambert would be perfect but wants to prove himself in the EPL.

It's gonna be a hard one for Celtic if Lenny does indeed go

Its so difficult to measure Managers in the English Leagues against SPL ...Everton - Walter Smith ?

A don't think it will be to hard to replace. If your a manager sittin on your hands not workin they might fancy the challenge. As for Martin he would be ideal at Leicester just now, new owners & big cheque book ? Would like him back at parkhead but as said b4 he is just a cheque book manager.

Would still pay the Dow tho for whoever comes because if the league goes to govan again then the board will see big drop in season tickets again.

As for money for a new manager? Do you really see that Celtic team staying together by the start of next season? Hopefully whoever we sell if we do then the money gets giving back to the transfer kitty

Come on you bhoys in green
Lenny

Sir Walter did wonders at Everton ya fud! He was royaly screwed over by the board there (he must like that kinda pressure!) and forced to sell anyone of value at every turn. Just keeping them in the EPL was a wonder... {Ed007's Note - LMAO That's how he got sacked then?}

This link will tell you how good he wasN'T at everton and how much the NEVER loved him.

If McCarthy gets the bullet at Wolves would he come to Parkhead?

I think he would walk to Celtic Park if asked... But his record is not so hot; although he has a lot of experience he is always in relegation zone in EPL.
On saying that WGS was hit & miss down south and he won us three titles....

It cant be that hard to replace Lennon. Anyone with any kind of CV would do a better job. This is Lennons first job and it has come way too soon. I would take someone like Curbishley in a minute. Rather have him than Hughes to be honest.

REF - Sir Walter did wonders at Everton ya fud!

How dare you call me names ! you cannot argue Walter is one of the best Managers to grace the SPL, I was merely pointing out it's difficult to say how a Manager in the English leagues would fair in the SPL. The fact remains..he was sacked by Everton & David Moyes appointed...which I believe he quickly restored the club back to the top half of the EPL. Walter has said himself recently, he wouldn't mind another crack in England. - Chrissy

Deja vu , how uncanny that Ally McCoist will be in the same boat as his mentor was at Everton ... when he has to sell all players of any value come the January transfer window .
