As everything else crumbles around them, the prospect of a new manager arriving in the summer is a small light at the end of the tunnel for Celtic.
The fact that Neil Lennon is still in a job is nigh on miraculous, but even miracles have their limits, and after this season is over and done with, the Irishman will surely be disposed of.
This campaign has been a disaster of epic proportions, and the scars of it will be felt decades down the line. They were within a season of immortality, but we re halfway through January and it has all gone to hell.
Former Celtic striker Mark Burchill believes that former Premier League boss Eddie Howe would be "enticed" by the prospect of managing the current Scottish champions.
DAVID MARTINDALE hopes his journey from organised crime to manager of a Scottish Premiership club can inspire others that it is possible to turn their lives around.
Martindale has been appointed Livingston boss after leading the club to four consecutive victories and the Scottish League Cup semi-finals during a caretaker spell.
The 46-year-old was jailed for six-and-a-half years in 2006 after admitting charges relating to cocaine dealing and money laundering but had already begun rebuilding his life.
After graduating from university and a spell as assistant manager of Broxburn Athletic in the Scottish Juniors set-up, Martindale joined the Livi coaching staff in 2014.
