BT Sports presenter, Darrel Currie has come out on social media to back Neil Lennon today as the Irishman called out Scottish football and the wider community over the treatment he receives on a daily basis.

Currie who has regularly had Neil Lennon on the BT panel knows all about the former Celtic manager’s character and does not want to see him walk away from the Scottish game because the Irishman adds so much.

Neil Lennon expressed in no uncertain terms today, the abuse he continues to receive is racist as much as it is sectarian.

The Hibs boss refuses to stay silent on the issue and believes that’s one reason why he is targeted. He is a winner, a Catholic, a Celtic man and outspoken – everything a certain element of this country irrationally despises.

It’s good to see Darrell backing Neil Lennon when some in the game who should know better have tried to push the narrative that Neil brings it on himself.
