Lennon’s starting XI certainly seems to have caused a bit of a stir, with many unhappy to see James starting on the left-wing once again. 

Mikey Johnston’s place on the bench has also come as a surprise given how a number of supporters had expected him to start and build up his match fitness ahead of the Glasgow Derby.
