Neil Lennon says Celtic will still beat Rangers to the title even with lack of signings
It has been a frustrating January transfer window for Celtic so far and these coming days could be season-defining.
If Brendan Rodgers is backed with a few new faces, such as a striker and a left-back, then it might just increase Celtic’s chances of winning the Premiership title.
As of this moment, the Bhoys hold a five-point lead over Rangers, but Philippe Clement’s men do have a game in hand.
If things remain the same, and even if Celtic don’t add to their squad before Thursday’s cut-off point, Neil Lennon is still backing the title to head to Parkhead, as he told PLZ Soccer.
Neil Lennon did highlight that Celtic will be on their travels quite a lot during these coming weeks and he thinks that will aid Brendan Rodgers and the Bhoys.
Not because of the Parkhead pitch, although, you would think it would help, but just the pressure of playing away from the home fans amid the current mood.
Celtic and Rangers title race
“I think Celtic will win it,” stated Lennon in a blunt fashion.

Even with what they have got re lack of January signings? “I think you get Maeda, you get Hatate back. Keep the players they have got already. They have shown me enough this year without blowing everyone away.
“For me, the next ten games. Seven are away and three are at home. That might suit them. I watched them at St Mirren the other week, I thought they were fantastic. They blew St Mirren away and could have won five or six,
“They are probably playing better away from home than they are at home, just for the added expectation and pressure building. It might do them good. Teams might come out away from home and have a go. They are just coming up against a low block every time.”

Celtic stepping up
Yes, the fans are frustrated at the below-par performances and those voices of concern are very valid.
But it also needs to be noted that a number of key players, who have been in the treatment room, are now back, including Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liel Abada.
Then there is the fact that the players have stuck their chest out and proved their worth when it has mattered most.
If those same steps are taken during these coming months, including in the Glasgow derby, then the title should come back home.
