'This is all on Lawwell', 'can't defend, don't win trophies', 'not signing John McGinn started this': Celtic fans react to 1-1 draw with Hibs

A stoppage-time Kevin Nisbet goal denied Celtic three points on the day it was confirmed 13 players, and manager Neil Lennon, would miss the match due to being ordered in self-isolation.

The draw leaves Celtic 21 points behind rivals Rangers in the title race. This is how their fans reacted to the latest setback:

@TheTweetofShaun: “Anyone still think Lennon should be in job? 100 games in his second spell and we still can't defend set-pieces.”

@bhoy_al: “Can't defend, you don't win trophies. It wasn't lost tonight, it was lost giving away a goal against Aberdeen in the last min, drawing 1-1 with St Johnstone and other calamities.”

@Sy_Fy_Guy: “Just start building for next season, clear the place out and move forward, stop putting off the inevitable. Weak on and off the park.”

@ronan_jheez: “Not signing John McGinn was the start of this by the way. Outed as a diddy club too keen to get into petty squabbles with Rod f-ing Petrie. And now here we are.”

@jimmydoris1986: “Don't even know what to say. Rangers didn't suddenly become an amazing team. They've strengthened no doubt but this season falls directly at our own feet. Arrogance, complaceny and a refusal to plug obvious gaps. I'm gutted. Genuinely devastated. No point pretending otherwise.”

@john49140632: “McGregor was an empty jersey once again!! 3 on the line and couldn’t get a boot on it, absolute shambles this season from start to finish.”

@manky_bianchi: “So when does this “Reset Button” actually Reset ???”

@footieghirl123: “Can't be too hard on the makeshift team. But those in charge let us all down in our biggest season. You had the best chance and watched as it went into freefall. Shame on you all. Stealing a wage from us.”

@jkane72: “The young lads did their best tonight, this shambles is all on Lawell. At this rate Rangers could go into admin and still lead after a points deduction. Time to start planning for next season and that means a root and branch overhaul.”

@Mikey_Bhoy_1993: “Forget hilariously p*** 21 point deficit, 10IAR was lost the day we appointed Neil Lennon in a Hampden shower. Don't renew season tickets until Lawwell & Lennon announce their departures. Starve the board. Only thing I demand from the rest of the season is beating Sevco at home.”
