Celtic Boss Defends Team Selection after Cluj Debacle

Neil Lennon spoke to CelticTV ahead of this weekend’s game against Dunfermline and addressed questions about Celtic’s disappointing defeat against Cluj on Tuesday night.

The manager has come in for some heavy criticism with regards to his squad selection on the night. However, today, Lenny came out swinging and declared his team selection didn’t have a great bearing on the defeat.

The Celtic manager believes it was working and they were flying high at 2-1 – vindicating his choices on the night.

To be fair to Neil, the side may have been puzzling but it did get the team in front. The biggest issue for me, is when we got in front at 3-2 and he didn’t change it to make sure we slowed the game down. It was frantic and Neil’s decision’s on the night had a huge bearing on the end result.

The comment below will not go down well with the fans who have been openly hurting and angry since Tuesday night.
