Celtic fans blame Neil Lennon after disastrous Champions League exit

Celtic fans were furious after their club's embarrassing exit from the Champions League.

Their heroes were knocked out in the qualifiers by a side that they were expected to beat comfortably.

The fallout saw Celtic supporters laying the blame at manager Neil Lennon's door, with some insisting action needs to be taken in order for the same mistakes not to be made again.

Here's what the fans said after a disastrous night at Celtic Park.

"No sure how we come back from this. Completely demoralising. Not one person solely to blame for this shambles but NL f***ed it tonight" - @Kieran_Celtic

"Reminder that Lawwell offered Lennon the job in the showers after the cup final. Didn't even consider anyone else and admitted he put applications from others in drawer without looking at them. What a professional job that was eh? " - @bhoy4life

"If we lose against Rangers, would it be safe to say his job would be on the line considering what’s at stake?" - @hargi_

"Lawwell isn’t the main problem, Lennon is absolutely out his depth" - @17_djf

"Lennon f***ed that tonight" - @nickybhoy7

"Lennon has not developed as a manager in any way, shape or form since first stint" - @Davidopoulos86

"Lennon was never cut out for this job long term, the job and the club are too big for him. Shocking decisions" - @Tomthebhoy83

"Neil Lennon has a lot to answer for with that selection" - @divisbhoy

"The least Lennon could have done was come out and admit he f***ed up the team selection. Take the blame! Instead he tried to throw the players under the bus! Nah man" - @Caramac_67

These comments are all from August 2019 when Celtic lost 4-3 to Cluj.
