THE Green Brigade have held up a banner outside Celtic Park calling for Neil Lennon’s sacking.
The Hoops fans group have hit out at the team’s recent performances under the manager.
And they insist it is time for Celtic chief Peter Lawwell and the board to act in an effort to avoid missing out on 10-in-a-row this season.
Alongside a picture of the banner which read, “save the ten – time to go Neil”, the Green Brigade also released a statement on Twitter.
It read: “Neil Lennon and many of the current Celtic squad have delivered unprecedented success for our club and deserve enormous credit for their achievements.
“However, past accomplishments are not enough to excuse the level of performance and lack of desire we have endured throughout this momentous season.
“Despite having the best squad in the country, the football on display has been dismal, lacking in ideas and belief.
“Many of our best players have disappointed and we have performed poorly both domestically and in European competition, winning only two games from our previous eight.
“Whilst we would love nothing more than to see Neil Lennon win us the championship, we are part of a growing element of the Celtic support that has sadly concluded that he is unable to turn our season around.
“After a decade of unrivalled footballing and financial dominance it is disappointing to find ourselves 11 points off the league summit and virtually out of the Europa League, having failed to make it past even the second round of qualification for the Champions League.
“We appreciate all that Neil Lennon has done for the club and endured in his time in Scotland.
“However there is simply too much at stake to persevere in hope rather than expectation, and a managerial change needs to be made.
“Celtic Football Club is bigger than us all and the good of the club must come first.
“Peter Lawwell and the Celtic board must act now in a bid to save 10-in-a-row as well as their own legacies.
“Should they fail to deliver this title, it will be them who are held to account.”
Lennon has come in for criticism from fans this season following a run of poor form.
However, Callum McGregor insisted yesterday that everyone at the club is together as he backed his under-fire boss.
While Celtic legend Martin O’Neill has said criticism of his former player on social media has been ‘entirely unwarranted’.
