Special reserves

THE most telling assessments of the Celtic squad are being made in a series of meetings that annoyingly insist on barring the press.

Peter Lawwell, the chief executive, Neil Lennon, the manager, and the support staff at the club have already started frank discussions that will continue over the summer.

In the absence of transcripts of these talks, it was a small consolation to be allowed a hint of Lennon's thinking in the aftermath of a week where Rangers were demolished and a victory over St Johnstone took Celtic to 90 points in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. Two wins – against Dundee United on Sunday at Tannadice and against Hearts at home – can take Celtic to the highest total in the league since the 94 points the Parkhead side recorded in 2004.
