Neil Lennon receives sustained abuse from the stands in many stadiums in Scotland and the minute he gives anything back in the way of a wind up he is told he brings it on himself.
These people are apologists for the ‘fans’ who want to turn things violent.
Neil Lennon is a man doing his job and as his agent says, much of it has stemmed from the fact he’s an Irish Catholic Celtic man.
