Celtic interim manager Neil Lennon has time on his hands during the international break. What he should be doing in that time is exploring making a change in Celtic’s style of play.
The Hoops boss should consider moving to three at the back for the Glasgow derby against Rangers, which is the first game after the international break.
Flirted with the formation
Lennon has already flirted with the formation. He moved to three at the back when searching for a winning goal against Dundee on Sunday.
It paid off on that occasion, it could do the same against Rangers at the end of March. The Hoops have the personnel available to make a change at the back work.
Ideal candidates to play in defence
Dedryck Boyata, Filip Benkovic and Kristoffer Ajer would be the ideal candidates for the positions in defence.
The switch could also help the Hoops’ attacking play as well.
Instead of playing with one striker, the team could line-up in a 3-5-2, or even in a 3-4-3, if they were really being adventurous.
That would enable the Hoops to put on a performance that the fans would demand, making up for the dismal display against Rangers in December.
Perhaps Neil Lennon will deicide that a game against Rangers isn’t the right one to change the side’s formation in. But it is certainly a change that he should be considering.
