rasmussen scored in his second game for the turkish team he joined on loan. why cant lennon give him a chance?
anyone else agree he's the type of striker we need?

Yeah i am a rangers fan and we would have rasmussen any day he scores lots of goals def better than sammy who is total crap

Af said it once b4 why does he never play rasmussen he gives samaras a chance and f*ks up so WHY? not give this guy a shot and get samaras of on loan.

Theres a rumour going about lennon gets half of samaras appearence money, thats why the 3 yr deal got given ha

Neil lennon doesnt play rasmussen coz it was tony mowbray that signed him

rumours going about that a number of players are getting fed up with being critisized in public by lenny. i wish he'd keep it behind closed doors ffs. its like tony mobray all over again without the barcelonaesque style of play {Ed007's Note - What players?}

Kayal, commons and hooper apparently. maybe the reason hoopers not been celebrating his goals and kayals looks a shadow of his former self {Ed007's Note - Where did NL criticise them in public?}

Too many people on here spouting s**te and negativity. imposters who support other teams pretending to be fans and writing negative comments. and too many genuine celtic fans who are far too fickle, have a very short memory and generally idiotic with absolutely no faith or pride.

If NL is publicly critical of players then that's his decision. He should have kicked more **** publicly IMO. Liking any supposed comments NL is meant to have made with soft lad TB is ridiculous. NL is a better manager than TM who in some estimates cost the Club £30M + and lost us 2 years development. NL inherited a complete mess and does need some recognition of this. He also has bought about 13 or so players most of whom are regularly first picks or are genuine competition granted with a few noteable exceptions. I may be wrong but I think his ins and outs balance is in the black. Criticise NL for team selections or poor tactics but to criticise his man management style is to my mind unfair and unreasonable. I think he is well respected by the players and he supports them fully up to the point where he has put his neck on the line before theirs. Its a difficult line but Id rather see a player devalued than taking the manager down.

Guys, let's get serious here. Lennon deserves some stick for his decision making at times. He even deserves some stick for signings etc although IMO most have been ok. but if we can honestly say that guys being paid a weekly wage that most of us make in a year and they can't take the heat for being slaughtered for losing at home to St Johnstone or to a below average Rangers team when they were themselves absolutely rank rotten and deserved more stick than they actually got then they need some reality checks or get them to F**k because i for one don't want to be spending my hard earned money going to watch any more of these namby pamby (when the heat comes) i don't want to be here but blame it on someone else type players.

Perfect example to the contrary is Joe Ledley - hasn't put a foot wrong all season but when the crunch games come he's dropped. Aint heard a word from him yet an obese Kris Commons who has been dross from the off this season can't keep off sodding twitter bumping his gums !!!

A below average rangers team? be serious now we are far superior to celtic and that is the truth

I would love to have a pop back at that mate but recently you have been better. Results and titles show that but if you think you have anywhere near a decent team then you are deluded. The problem for us is that you lot are rubbish but yet you still do better than us. Your boys seem to step up to the plate when it comes to the crunch yet ours talk a great game but fail to produce when it comes down to it. Time will tell but haven't we been saying that for a while now !

reports are saying celtic will spend big in january to tie up the league to focus on the champions league

Doubtful, what makes you think the board will spend big now when they didnt for the last few years?.we need at least 2 new centre backs, a right back and a decent striker to have any chance of beating rangers

To the above poster-

Why two new centre backs + yet another right back.

We already have matthews( one for the future) cha( competent enough for SPL and europa league) and m. Wilson who over the last few seasons has been excellent in particular last season. So right back is covered.

We have one good centre half in K. Wilson, mulgrew could be played beside him but i would prefer and older experienced defender.

Striker wise is the same old we need a target man.

All we need is 2 new signings to strengthen.
Remember last year we threw the league away yet again so this mentality of throwing money at players to compete is wrong. We have the players to compete we just need lennon to get the dressing room motivated and determined.

Ed whats your thoughts? {Ed007's Note - I've said for months we need a powerful, strong CF. Not just a player that can win the ball in the air, just give a strong physical presence up front. Hopefully Bangura can do that job, he looks a big strong lad anyway.}

Well one reason if you go there loads of people in celtic talking about the board syaing that there going to spend big and its mabe the fact that my mate has got a seat in the directors box and heard them talking about transfer kity

Yeah well remember we have to claw back points before we talk about puttin any leagues to bed.
