Celtic boss Neil Lennon has told his old team-mates they've 'sold their souls' in a bid to get more followers and clicks online.
The Hoops gaffer is still fizzing at comments from old pals and believes they have turned to 'clickbait' rather than supporting him through a tough time.
He previously called out John Hartson for the Welshman's opinion that he should leave Celtic while Chris Sutton has also called for Lennon to walk away.
But the Celtic Park boss insists that's their issue and he will continue to do things how he sees fit after insisting his 'peers' were just looking to keep their name in the headlines.
He said: "I have seen it with other people, peers of mine, looking to court public opinion, get more followers, get more clickbait and that type of stuff. These people have sold their souls a little bit and I'm quite happy with the way I have dealt with things.
"My conscience is completely clear in terms of how I have gone about my work, too.
"It certainly galvanises me I've said before that in a perverse sort of way, I quite enjoy it.
"I don't believe it because I have evidence to back up what I have achieved in the game here and what I can achieve going forward.
"We have gone through a really adverse season for numerous reasons and its not all down to football. That's something that people don't really get a grasp and maybe don't want to get a grasp of either. They choose to ignore those factors.
"That's fine. It's their world but it's not mine.
"You sit here and think about things, you analyse and talk about it and try to get the best out of the team. We haven't been able to do that this year but I'm not running out on my players I'm not giving up on my players.
"I think we have got a fine squad. It's not been our year and, hopefully, that can change over the next one, two, three, four seasons going forward."
