Well it didn’t take long for Celtic manager Neil Lennon to lift his self-imposed silence on Rangers.
The day after Rangers were cleared of playing “ineligible” players in their SPL championship winning teams, Lennon has decided to give his words of wisdom once again on his favourite subject: Rangers. A team that Lord Nimmo stated did “not gain any unfair sporting advantage”.
When Lennon was asked about Rangers being vindicated by the independent tribunal led by Lord Nimmo into Rangers registering of players, the Celtic head coach stated “Maybe that’s because they got their own way”.
Yes, Rangers have got their own way. Administration, liquidation, loss of their best players and playing football in the third division – although to larger crowds than attend Celtic Park to watch Neil Lennon’s Celtic team. Not to forget the lost revenue from TV and sponsorship.
Once again we see Neil Lennon playing to the lowest denominator in the Scottish game. He is unable to accept any decision that he does not agree with, and has to go looking for conspiracy theories everywhere.
He also doesn’t care or want to talk about Rangers. Yet he can quote the exact millions and how many years Rangers used EBTs.
Neil Lennon is the most fortunate manager in Celtic’s history if not Scottish football history. He can sit back, put his feet up and relax for the next few years as he has an unchallenged run at the SPL championship and gets Champion’s League football handed to him on a plate.
Only Neil Lennon could argue that the Court of Session who overruled the illegal transfer embargo, the FTT trial that found Rangers not guilty of Tax Evasion as HMRC alleged and now Lord Nimmo’s independent tribunal clearing the club over “ineligible” players are all wrong and Rangers “Always get their own way”.
Lennon is clearly in denial and should seek medical help instead of listening to everything he hears about Rangers from Celtic’s lawyers Harper and McLeod. After all, it was Harper and McLeod who prosecuted the case on behalf of the SPL. For the SPL and Harper and McLeod, this is an epic fail.
Rangers attained a higher standard of disclosure on EBTs than Celtic when they withheld from the SFA/SPL payments to Juninho. Rangers reported every year in accounts; Celtic admitted non-disclosure.
So far, Lennon has fallen at most of the hurdles he has faced as a manager, notably to Ross County in the Scottish Cup and Rangers and Kilmarnock in the League Cup finals. He has been to Hampden five times and come off second best on five occasions. Neil Lennon should stop obsessing about Rangers and concentrate on his own legacy within the game, whatever that may be.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND NOT GUILTY NOT GUILTY NOT GUILTY
Lol @ this the whole of scottish football is uo in arms at this. Especially spartans. I wonderwhat fc siin think of this after take uefa all the way to the courts and loosing. Its unbelieveable
What a pile of bitter obsessive pish. Enjoy you high attendances and £7M losses.
Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so littered with inaccuracies, misunderstood facts, misrepresented statements and opinionated drivel.
Cyberted I salute you for standing up for the mentally impaired and hard of thinking!
Welcome to Sevconian logic
Hey everybody, Cybertit is back and guess what, he’s talkin shoite AGAIN.
Bottom line, I’m quite sure many stars would of went else where had it not been for the EBT tax avoidance scheme.
47 million reasons why Oldco gained an advantage.
Guilty but no punishment. Oldco fined. Do me a favour!
btw Cybertit, Administration, liquidation, loss of their best players and playing football in the third division? All your OWN doing.
Thank feck for Whyte fcukin it all up or you’s would of got away “scot free” with the lot of it.
Lord Nimmo proved 1 thing CHEATS!!! That’ll do me since “the so called self proclaimed peepal” have been Scotland’s SHAME since time began.
ps Celtics average attendance not to mention INCOME dwarfs your micky moose turd division pretenders lol stay aff the glue bag!!!
HH
“Bottom line, I’m quite sure many stars would of went else where had it not been for the EBT tax avoidance scheme.

Yes, Maybe but the use of the EBT’s scheme was legal and many company’s are still using them, So i fail to see your point.
The very fact this article says ranger won the EBT FTT case shows how clueless the writer is. Rangers won 60% of them, losing the remaining 40% thus being guilty of tax evasion.
Plus I believe Lenny said he would talk about the judgement when it comes out as he was a player at the time with Celtic during rangers’ decade of ‘admin errors’ (lol). So he has a right.
How did Lenny win the Scottish Cup coming second? lol
As for playing to the lowest denominator. How very ironic.
They weren’t cleared, they were found guilty. The ruling was effectively “it’s only cheating if you catch them at the time”.
So much for coming up clean through the divisions. No shame or humbleness for leaving so many unpaid debts – just churning out this misinformed drivel.
I like to read unbiased articles…..this was not, as it was clearly written by a supporter of the team this article is in regards to, fail.
I need glasses, cos I could not believe the drivel this guy has wriiten. No not written must have come out of his “belle-end ” cos no one in thier right mind could for one second take in all this p**h, please please please tell me he is trying to gee up his horde of ” orcs ” as they must surely be the only people who can take this p**h in and believe it
The whole verdict stinks of freemasonary and orange order interferance but ofcourse we are all Celtic supporters being paranoid. Independant enquirery?Dont make me laugh.What a smokescreen Charlie Green is making and the bears are hanging on too his every word He is not far away from dropping them on thier heads the sooner the better!!
What a load of misrepresented B/S. Rangers (RIP) were found guilty – Fact. Lennon was only voicing the concerns of the whole of Scottish football. Why are some teams hammered for breaking the rules yet the dead team from Govern get away with a slap on the wrist. The really astonishing thing is that somehow their ‘cheating’ was not deemed as giving them an unfair advantage. Rangers (RIP) and their tribute act Sevco FC 2012 lead by Chuckles Green wring their hands and claim they are the victims of a hate filled conspiracy and that they are due apologies!!! Another fact that is oft misrepresented by the Scottish MSM, with a few notable exceptions, is that all Rangers FC (RIP) troubles were self inflicted through spending money they did not have while trying to emulate Celtics European success – FACT. Sevco FC 2012 s the most gullible and revisionist supporters in the entire football world.
Any relation to Father Ted? “Careful now”
Cyberted, you are an absolute moron.
I suppose Lennon taking Celtic to the last 16 is a failure is it? And where did he say Rangers “always get their own way”? You are an idiot. A bitter idiot.
Here you are mouthing off at Lennon for talking about Rangers, insinuating that he’s obsesses with them. Are you obsessed with The Great Neil Francis Lennon? Seems that way. Anyway, Lennon was cheated by Old Rangers as a player so he has every right to comment on the verdict.
Oh, how does it feel way down there? Hahaaa!
Celtic 1888-present and beyond 🙂
A few points:
1- Lord Nimmo found oldco Rangers guilty, but on advice from, ahem, an “impartial” SFA official was advised not to strip any titles. This was to avoid the destruction of Strathclyde by fat, tattooed hordes exhibiting zombie like behavior.
2- The financials just published reveal that Sevco5088 is slowly slipping into another crisis and at current levels of expenditure will cease to exist by the end of the year.
3- The chairman of Sevco5088 makes my own Mad Vladimir seem like the tooth fairy by comparison. His rabble rousing on certain fronts is merely a smokescreen, so that he may trouser investors cash as he plans an escape to a secluded village in the Yorkshire Dales and believe me it will NEED to be secluded. Ole Whytey was smart enough to hole up in Monaco.
Omg what a loser you are and your hate for Celtic and obsession for Lennon is unhealthy you pathetic little loser. Celtic and Lennon has had nothing to say about your little no one cares newco even thought the media just keep asking abou it. And when he dose say what a couple lines about the biggest scam and cheats in British football you have a go at him even thought he says he is focused on our team and dosent want to talk about it. You like to say how much trouble he has in Hanson and failed test??eta hear your thoughts on your manager at least Lennon loses in the semi finals or finals while yous get dumbed out in the first round. What is your clubs achievements?? Being the only club in history to liq months after starting with 7 mill loss.
Answer this why is it that your club always mentions Celtic when they open thier mouth?? Trying to stay in the shadow of our lime light, cl last 16, spl champs, cup win, most shout outs in league ever, record winning streak, players worth of 10 mill, being scouted by epl and other clubs to take over manager jobs…. What else, there is a lot Lennon has has done in such a sort time now let’s look at ally’s achievements…aaa nothing good comes to mind so blowing a 15 point lead, singing the worst players, losing and can’t beat the lowest club in the lowest div, losing spend more the. Any other club in Scottland and that list just continues. So keep enjoying watching your crapy club while you make fun of Celtic and how we lose to a juve who have 100 mill more than us or how we beat barca yet we did it all wrong. We all know you watch Celtic to see some great football and not your dross of a club. And the spl is more entertaining now that yous are out and beig from another country can tell you spl highlights are shown a lot more then when your bigot of a club was around. Would be nice to at your club just to destroy and impairess yous but sadly ally can’t make it far in a cup and it will be 5 years before spl
Why dont you just call this site this is rangers…you are a complete bore with this misnomer of a title …why not call it huns-r-us ?
I’m sure lenny will cheer up after the result tomorrow(away) to Juventus.lol
more than a name,we know who’s to blame.
What a load of shiite. Rangers2012 are SHIITE.
