Rangers fans don’t have long to wait until 55 with the club needing only seven points to secure their first league title in a decade with the crowning moment potentially to come at Celtic Park.
The number has been the target for so long for the Gers supporters but one man who won’t be around to see it is Celtic manager Neil Lennon.
Lennon is the Parkhead gaffer no more and won’t be in charge should the title-winning match come down to Celtic Park, with the Gers on course to win it at Parkhead.
But the number 55 gave Lenny and his cohorts one final dig in the kidneys as eagle-eyed Rangers fans noticed the Celtic legend left his post on the 55th day of the year.
February 24th is the 55th day of the year in a quite remarkable fact which simply adds to the misery surrounding Lennon’s unceremonious exit at Parkhead.
Relentless Rangers have turned the screw on the former Celtic boss with Lennon suffering as a result of our incredible form and Celtic’s bottle crashing.
Even an on-form Celtic side would struggle to compete with Rangers – as their next manager will find out – with the Ibrox club lining up for a legendary party.
Rangers fans are in collective stitches at the notion the Celtic manager resigned on the 55th day of the year in a season where the club is set to finally win their 55th title:

The imminence of 55 sounded the death knell for Lennon’s Celtic career – it’s just an added bonus that it finally rung on the 55th day of 2021.
Here’s how Rangers fans reacted to Neil Lennon’s “resignation” with the Ibrox side 18 points clear in the Scottish Premiership.
