Thats 16 times we have failed to score in the league since we lost our unbeaten record to Hearts last December and 10 of those have finished 0-0.
Thats not Neil Lennons fault and what it shows is that squad needs major investment for next season to keep the gap going forward.
We are still solid at the back with only 2 goals conceded in 9 games since Lenny took over and one was a penalty in his first game.
I believe Lenny will spend wisely and he will play with his usual 2 up front next season.

Hopefully Lennon will be nowhere near the Job.

We've gone back too the start of the season form and players. On paper a strong side but lacking in midfield runners and a focal point upfront. Add to that we've lost Sinclair's goal threat. The emergence of Christie and the fresh legs in Jan gave us fresh impetence and urgency in our play which is again lacking. A presence in the opposition box and midfielders going beyond the ball are a must.

We haven't lost Sinclair's goal threat.
The manager refuses to play him.

Hayes was one of our best players against Aberdeen. You just drop a player after that aye?

The only future Sinclair has at Celtic is on the right wing, he could challenge Forrest or be a good cover option. I can only remember him playing there once for Celtic when we lost at hibs 2-0 in december and he was poor but the whole team played terrible that day. He has shown he is brilliant at being in the right place at the right time which proves he reads the game very well. He manages to score some of these chances which comes his way, many of them inside 6 to 10 yards out.
He also misses a lot of sitters mainly because they land on his weaker left foot, the same happened in the final last week, when the ball came to him in the box and by the time the tried to get it onto his right foot, the chance was gone.
I think he would be a goal machine on the right side because he is so good at reading the game and he will be able to hit more shots first time and also with his good foot which must make a big difference.
If we continue to play him on the left wing then he is not for me but I think we are missing a big trick here because I think he is a hidden gem.
