Celtic’s official Twitter account has released footage of the first-team squad in training this week following a difficult run of form for the Scottish champions.
Manager Neil Lennon is hanging onto his job by the skin of his teeth after being knocked out of the Betfred Cup by Ross County at the weekend, and it’s clear from the video that morale in the camp is not high. Supporters have been commenting on the video:
Players looked depressed

Players going for a jog around the pitch and doing basic drills with minimal effort. About what we all expect is the level of coaching at this club.
Any chance of a video of the manager doing HIS job?— PeejPrime (@PeejPrime) December 2, 2020
I remember when the players used to be all smiles and laughs under Rodgers

Even training no heart humour or commitment

No talking, no banter, just going through the motions.
Seriously needs change.— craig peniket (@CraigPeniket) December 2, 2020

Lots of running, no footage of defending?
— Jordan Molloy (@jordanmolloy95) December 2, 2020
Aye, running through poles, running over poles.. any chance of showing the defence working on corners?

Although tonight’s game against AC Milan in the Europa League has nothing riding on it for the Hoops, Lennon will want to see a massive improvement on recent performances.
However, the big game now for Celtic is the clash against St Johnstone at Parkhead on Sunday. Anything other than a win for the home side will likely spell the end of Lennon’s time in charge, with the Hoops slipping further and further behind Rangers at the top of the table.
