Jim White claims that he has been briefed by a seniot Celtic source about Neil Lennon’s future.
As fans demand answers and a ‘levelling up’ from the club on a back of four successive home defeats the only on the record communication from the club was a statement last night claiming that players were targeted by missiles last night.
Despite extensive Social Media coverage there has been no sign of missiles being thrown although temporary police fences were pushed over and swearing was heard.
Celtic’s statement has deflected attention away from the failings of the players, management and directors with White picking up on the ‘yobs’ during his show on talkSPORT this morning.
The Sun reports:
However, speaking on talkSPORT this morning, broadcaster Jim White has reported that senior sources tell him majority shareholder Dermot Desmond WON’T bow to the mob rule demands.
He revealed: “I heard last night from a senior source that Dermot Desmond, the owner of the club, was saying it will harden his resolve. He’s not going to bow to these yobs.”
It seemed to be business as usual at Lennoxtown this morning with the players reporting for training ahead of Thursday’s match away to AC Milan.
With just two wins in 10 matches a trip to the San Siro is an ominous prospect for Lennon and his management team to tackle on the back of losing to Ross County.
