Since that galling defeat they've completed a deal for David Turnbull, while Shane Duffy is set to seal a loan move from Brighton. But Nicholas can't understand why the club were so slow to bring in a defender - and believes that hesitation may have cost them Champions League football. "If the Celtic board had delivered on these fronts earlier then the club would still be in the Champions League rather than looking at the Europa League. "I don’t think Lennon is making statements to the board, I think he is just trying to survive as Celtic manager."
