Former manager Neil Lennon has raised some eyebrows with the Celtic support following his first in-depth interview since leaving the club.
A nightmare season for the Parkhead side seemingly went from one disaster to the next as the bid for 10 In A Row came to a screeching halt.
He has taken a shot at the fans who attended protests after the meek League Cup defeat to Ross County signalled the end of Celtic 's domestic dominance, insisting the punters were "giving the club a bad name."
The former captain and boss also referenced his "inherited" backroom staff during The Times interview, noting that the team given to him, while capable, meant he couldn't manage to the best of his ability.
However, potentially most bizarrely is the change in tune over the run to a 10th consecutive title.
The 49-year-old is without a club after leaving the fallen champions at the end of February, but reflected on the failed Premiership defence and pointed the fingers at the Celtic Park faithful.
He stated: "It was definitely a situation like no other.
"You’re going for the tenth title in a row and that was an obsession for the fans, an unhealthy obsession I felt."
It's a jarring change in tone from the former boss before a ball was even kicked - as he laid down the mantle to supporters and players alike.
Having lifted the ninth consecutive top flight title, Lennon issued a confident verdict ahead of losing the trophy to rivals Rangers.
Lennon told Sky Sports : "I can now safely say we can go for the ten.
"I've been sitting on that for quite a while and been thinking about it all during the season.
"When I got the job this time last year the fans were talking about ten but we had to get the nine first.
"We've achieved that now and now we can go for ten which I can't believe I'm saying.
"I remember in 2011 when we lost the league and saying this is just the beginning of something special.
"Going for the ten; it's historic, it's momentous and we'll be all out to do that."
