Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has offered a fresh view on the rhetoric on the club being in crisis due to performances on the pitch. The Irishman defended the club’s corner as Philippe Clement’s team enjoy the limelight as media darlings.

Speaking PLZ Soccer, Lennon said that Celtic’s record of late shows they can grind results out.

Neil Lennon claims 'The narrative is everything is great on this side of the fence, it's negative on this side of the fence but the results are the same'

Peter Martin responds: 'The Rangers fans were used to a narrative of complete claptrap from Michael Beale

It is good to see Lennon defending Rodgers and the team after what has been a difficult few months, especially after the transfer window.

The Scottish Champions are top of the league and have enjoyed their role at the top of the tree despite some poor displays. Rodgers has also managed two wins against Rangers, with one against Michael Beale and one against Clement.

Celtic’s performances need to improve in order to retain the Premiership title. Rodgers will be keen for improvements to his team as they look to win both the league and the Scottish Cup.
