He is very underestimated in my opinion.

Excellent news. One less bigot involved in the Scottish game is always worth celebrating.
And before the celtic fans start foaming at the mouth a simple YouTube search will show him quite openly using sectarian language towards the rangers support during a match.

Will I am Celtic and N. Ireland Manger on FIFA 2014 on my PS3.
-I sold Hopper for £20m to Man City.
-Got Ryan Gauld on an Free then sold him to Man United for £30m.
Back to real life I think Owen Coyle or Malky Mckay will be the next Celtic boss.

Now that the departure of Neil Lennon has been announced, it is time to ask why enlightened and progressive Scotland treated him in such a vile manner in each of the dozen or so years he spent with us. The resignation of a Celtic manager ought only to be the subject of scrutiny on the sports pages, with his success rate and football legacy being picked apart and compared with others who have occupied that seat.

Big crowds for other teams, Hearts normally have a good away support. Not sure about rangers, and Hibs, they must still have a fan or two

Now getting fake bombs and threats thrown at you isn't acceptable but lets not kid ourself on its purely down to poor Lennon being oppressed for his faith.

No Kevin, any journalist with half a brain would no that 'Not Guilty' and 'Not proven' verdicts are announced every day in Scotland. Maybe if the PF wasn't hell bent on trying to prove there was a sectarian angle to the assault then he would have got a conviction.
In fact IIRC the attacker was happy to plead guilty to assaulting Lennon purely on the fact of his hatred for him but that hatred had nothing to do with religion.

Pushing McCoist and having to be held back from assaulting him isn't violent. Right you are Kevin.

Thats where the real action is. Forget the kiddie on 'premiership' nonsense with the winners already crowned. Next season in the championship is shaping up to be a cracker.

Hibs took a dive.
They know that way they will get at least 4 sell outs next year as opposed to middling crowds in the 'booming' SPFL. The only league in the world that has to pay broadcasters to cover games.
