A week is a long time in politics and football.

After the euphoria of beating the Rangers, followed by a decent win at St Mirren (doing something else Rodgers failed to do earlier in the season), Neil Lennon has had his credentials for getting the Celtic job on a permanent basis challenged after that frustrating goalless draw against Livingston. If you watch the SPFL highlights you'll see at least half a dozen great chances to score, Eddie had a couple, Rogic should have scored, James was unlucky and Burke seems to lose all sense of where the goals were in the last few seconds. How annoying!

AVB and Martinez have both come in on the betting and for the first time since taking over as Interim Manager, Neil Lennon is current not the bookies favourite to get the job on a permanent basis.

But he'll be thinking that that can change if he can win on Sunday and take us to the Scottish Cup Final on 25 May when an historic treble treble can be secured. The euphoria would be back just as he sits down for his interview.

So beating Aberdeen on Sunday is huge for Neil Lennon personally and also for Celtic.

The formation against Livingston was puzzling. We seemed to have one too many midfielders and were a striker short. Let's play 3 5 2

Bain

Jozo, Ajer, Benkovic

Jamesy, Christie, Broony, Calmac, KT

French Eddie, Burke

That will work against Aberdeen and get us to the final.

Prediction? If Celtic plat two up top, we'll win 2-0....Your thoughts?

Still seems to be a bit of mixed messaging about who is actually pulling the strings in terms of how we set-up and style of play.

If that is the case, then Lenny improves his credentials if he stamps his own authority on the side. I appreciate cultured football, but I'm not averse to a bit of agriculture every now and then. Perhaps a semi is not the ideal time to change things up too much, but then again - the sheep are going to set-up to counter-attack, so maybe a change in direction might throw them a curve ball!

1-0 Celtic, but a comfortable 1-0
 
Remember them giving it tight when we beat Barcelonal in our 125 year old birthday. As if we were mediocre to take a Barca result and live of it, the fact of the matter was Barcelona was the best team on the planet at the time and we humbled them with the sheer noise and performance, to an extent Barca players wanted to come back for more of the atmosphere.
