Celtic boss Neil Lennon is a man under pressure but he certainly won’t be getting any sympathy from those at Rangers or any of the Ibrox club’s fans.
For a man who has been so defiant this week once again Lennon has done all his talking off the pitch with his side now with no wins in four and without a victory in 2021.
Celtic will also have to wait a week to play again with their opponents for the weekend taking part in the League Cup semi-finals.
But for anyone thinking perhaps there’s a minute, minuscule, fainter than faint flicker of pity amongst the Rangers legions then cast your mind back to last season.
With Rangers toiling amid a run of awful post-Christmas form – as had become the norm under Steven Gerrard – Lennon was caught on camera sarcastically laughing at the club.
Rangers had fallen to an admittedly embarrassing 1-0 home defeat to Hamilton Accies and Lennon was filmed on camera repeating “Hamilton, Hamilton” in sarcastic disbelief.
Well Lenny, it looks like it’ll be Rangers fans who have the last laugh after his side threw away yet another two points in a 2-2 draw against what was effectively a Livingston reserve side.
With one eye on their match with St. Mirren at the weekend, on-form Livi boss David Martindale rested seven key first team players to keep them fresh for an important League Cup semi-final.
Lennon isn’t the only one whose nonsense is coming back to haunt him either in the aftermath of the Livi result.
The Ibrox club’s fans are also not letting Chris Sutton forget it after he famously Tweeted about Rangers beating the Celtic reserves in October.
Here’s how a relentless Rangers support reacted to the result as they goaded those Celtic rivals whose old comments came back to haunt them:

The result has set the final nail on the coffin on 10IAR with Rangers handed the hammer to drive it into the wood.
This league title is Rangers’ to lose but barring a monumental collapse at Ibrox, it simply won’t happen.
Lennon isn’t the only one who’s been getting it tight off the Ibrox club’s supporters either with the club’s fans amazed Parkhead captain Scott Brown saw red in the match.
