# Celtic: Neil Lennon comments don’t prove convincing to fans online

**Celtic manager Neil Lennon has come in for criticism following his side’s shock [2-0 defeat](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49868073) at the hands of Livingston on Sunday. In his post-match interview on the club’s official YouTube Lennon claimed his side were “immature” to react to Livingston’s tactics.**

Celtic fans reacted to the interview and the defeat with more problems than solutions with claims for players to be rested or dropped and tactics to be changed, with a certain Kristoffer Ajer coming in for criticism in the tweets below.

Many Celtic fans are claiming that a lot of their issues are stemming from the Norwegian’s erratic displays of late, being culpable for [dropping points last week against Hibernian](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-match-reports/hibs-1-celtic-1-paul-20320939) doesn’t help his cause either.

Bhoys fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion on where Lennon is going wrong after a couple of poor domestic performances in which the Parkhead club has dropped five points and [dropped to second](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/scotland-football/article-7543253/Livingston-2-0-Celtic-Visitors-fall-league-defeat-horrific-Ryan-Christie-tackle.html) in the table.

Others were bemoaning Lennon’s habit of bringing Jonny Hayes off the bench when fans’ favourites like Scott Sinclair remain seated.

> Hayes brought on before Sinclair when we need goals? Give me strength!
