When you are put under the spotlight and demanded to perform, what do you do? Stick to what you know, keep the basics right, etc. etc.
The same can be said for second-time-around Celtic manager, Neil Lennon.
Just under a week has passed since he took the reins once more at Paradise, and within this time, there have been glimpses of what he intends to do to get the job done.
He was looking at a much-changed squad, new faces, different styles to what he was used to between 2010 and 2014. He had a difficult start with trips to Tynecastle and Easter Road within four days of each other.
Against Hearts, he went with what assistant boss John Kennedy had chosen due to the time frame of his appointment and the game itself.
He did bring Mikel Lustig on for his first appearance, as a substitute, since Jeremy Toljan displaced him back in early February. By the time Saturday came along, the Swede was back in the starting line-up.
They have both been superb this season, but James Forrest and Scott Brown really stepped up to the mark for their former and now current manager with goals and man of the match contributions.
Nir Bitton, almost a forgotten man under Brendan Rodgers, has played in both of Lennon’s matches since his return. The Israeli international had come back from a long injury lay-off in December but rarely featured before last week’s turn of events.
What is also pertinent is the confirmation of how certain aspects of Celtic’s playing style will not be continuing under Lennon.
He was angry at how the team conceded a penalty against Hearts; the previous regime stuck rigidly to playing out from the back. Despite numerous close shaves, they persevered and finally succumbed to their stubbornness when Scott Bain’s wayward pass was intercepted on the six-yard line, and Kristoffer Ajer gave away the spot-kick.
The new gaffer said he wanted to change this style of play, with many Celtic fans applauding the decision as their blood pressure would be drastically reduced.
Some huge games await for the Hoops, and Lennon knows what he needs to do to be successful.
