Fans gathered outside Celtic Park to call for manager Neil Lennon’s departure after Sunday’s 2-0 Betfred Cup defeat by Ross County.

Lennon could hear the shouts as he walked into his post-match media conference and said: “It doesn’t make me feel good obviously. We are not in a good moment.

“The game is a small microcosm of the run we are on: penalty and set-play. We have given the opposition free hits.

“We dominated the game and lacked a bit of quality in the final third.”

When asked what would he would say to the supporters outside, Lennon said: “What can I say? That’s their opinion. It’s been rumbling for a while.

“It doesn’t matter what I say or what sort of bravado I put on. It won’t wash. I have to turn it round with results. I can only do that with the players.”

When asked whether he gave himself a time frame for that, Lennon said: “No. Next game possible, whether it be AC Milan or St Johnstone next week.”

The press have since been escorted out of Parkhead.
