Celtic’s borderline miraculous progression to the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday night prompted discussion amongst the Bhoys’ fan base as to whether or not manager Neil Lennon has cemented legend status yet. Football Burp hotfooted it down to the Talk Celtic forum to see what folk had to say about the matter…
Artur Boruc #1…
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but if you were to ask me, tonight means that he betters Strachan’s achievements for Celtic.
Building a team on an absolute shoestring compared to Strachan’s Celtic team, and qualifying from an unbelievably hard group whilst beating one of the best sides ever along the way. And if it couldn’t get any better, we also shook that away monkey off our back.
One Neil Lennon.

Congratulations to Neil Lennon and to all the Celtic fans who stuck by him even when we were 3-0 down at Kilmarnock last season. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Was thinking about this in when watching the re-run, in terms of where does he rank now in Celtic managerial history.
This definitely makes him better than O’Neill and for the sheer fact that it was done as the 4th seed team against expensively assembled, seasoned Champions League teams, and the small matter of the greatest team in the world, makes this a more impressive achievement than Strachan’s two last 16 runs. I love Gordon Strachan to bits for what he did for the club, but I never thought Lennon’s team could return to that “fortress Parkhead” kind of aura we had in his tenure, not for a number of seasons anyway.

Officially a legend now
Don Devleone…
He has been a legend for a long, long time.

I’m guessing when he walked over to the part of the crowd he got stick from, it was an ‘up yours’ to the idiot who had been heckling him?

The idiot who came to Celtic park the very next day he did it to apologise to Lenny?
I highly doubt Lenny would have did that. He gets heckled from the majority of Scotland, so I’m sure he would have plenty of other targets apart from his own fans.

It’s been funny this season. We’ve had massive wins in massive games, but now we can’t win the small games against Killie and such.

Now we don’t have champions league games to think about for over 2 months we can wrap up the league
It’s some achievement for him, he’s not just beating diddy teams in the league/cup he’s mixing with the best.
DOOGO BHOY…
Without a doubt, a true hero in my life and I’m sure most of yours. Oor Lenny. I fucking love you mate.
