Celtic have given manager Neil Lennon their public backing for a second week running.
Further protests followed Sunday's 1-1 home draw with St Johnstone as Celtic went five games without a win but Lennon will remain in charge.
A club statement read: "In light of the ongoing speculation regarding the position of our football manager, Neil Lennon, the board of Celtic Football Club wishes to make clear its continuing support for Neil and his backroom team.
"The board recognises and understands the importance of winning the league championship this season and that, as Neil himself has made clear, recent performances and results have been disappointing.
"The board is committed to delivering success for Celtic supporters."
Earlier today, Lennon vowed to keep trying to spark Celtic back into life until told otherwise after their latest setback.
The champions fell 13 points behind Rangers after the weekend but when asked if the club's support could change following the latest slip, Lennon said: "I don't think so and I don't want it to change, I want to keep working with good people behind me, we just need to get the players back at the levels they were at.
"Do we maybe look at the training? Do we look at our routines? Do we look at our set-ups? All these things, we have analysed it to death.
"The players have to look at themselves as well and say, 'We are better than this’. We need to find a solution as quickly as possible."
