Loan Ranger El Hadji-Diouf has nailed the pathetic claim that Neil Lennon is racist.
Weekend reports claimed that the Celtic boss was to be investigated by Strathclyde Police but Diouf has confirmed that there is no foundation to the allegations.
He told The Daily Record: “Neil Lennon is a nice guy and I do not believe he racially abused me.
“Neil Lennon is not a racist and I have every respect for him as a manager.”
Diouf’s agent Willie McKay added: “El Hadji is also great friends with one of Lennon’s former Leicester team-mates, Pegguy Arphexad, who he played with at Racing Club Lens.
“If people are trying to put the boot into Neil Lennon, he is not interested.”

Good for you Diouf! As a Celtic fan, I may detest some of your actions on the pitch, but it’s good to see that off of it, you have integrity!
The 200 Ranger supporters who started all this nonsense! No class, no integrity, no surprise! Shame on all of you!
Thank God I’m a Celtic fan!!!
Do you not think he is trying to stop what may happen to him, when he appears before SFA,
the same with Bouggy, he wants to say sorry to Calum Murray can smell the s**t from here
John, regardless of his motive, it still puts the boot into those 200 odd rangers ‘fans’ who started this hate campaign.
It’s natural to be suspicious of the motives but he could easily have said nothing and let things drag on.
Diouf clearly has lots of issues but deserves some respect for nailing this ‘story’ in the head.
Since they’re all throwing apologies about trying to cover their own thuggish backs, how about one for the Celtic Physio who this streak of sh*t assaulted, or can we claim it as a racist attack??
The sewer rat has form you know, but much prefers racially abusing wee boys!
No, didn’t think so!
This lowlife and his lowlife wee bitter twisted assistant manager started and finished this whole thing, both trying to endear themselves to the worst of the worst eliment in the hun support, the sewer rat has already put in his add on for a new contract (now that he’s found his spiritual home)and McDOB is a hun of the worst sort and always has been and with the help of Mr Bean and the LL are willing to leave the blame not only at NLs door, but at Celtics!
Not one iota of respect from me.
Ps. I wonder how Weiss feels about the huns racist bigoted chants against Gypsies in Romania, or indeed their Nazi salutes WHERE EVER they go!
Nice try Diouf..
Still no word from nice man Ally
This is the first response from rangers that is honest.
The disgraceful silence from Ibrox way is supporting the louts that are making death threats to Neil lennon.
The idiots at Ibrox should be holding their heads in shame because they all know their disgraceful behaviour is the root cause of these issues and bile that conmes from the fans who now see that rangers have their new owners after all. The problem for them is though that the don’t like the ownners being Celtic.
has it been noted that this trouble has only started since we have controlled them in 2011?
Is this the rangers way to make sure we lie down in the cup final and the title run in?
Mr. Integrity himself has lost all credibility by not admitting his team were sent out to stop Celtic at all costs. Lennon has the measure of Smith and he doesn’t like it. His admission would get the retraded people who call themselves rangers fans off Lennon’s back. As always, the bile from Ibrox shame the Scottish game, and the board support them.
Rangers fans are hilarious! Are they not embarrassed enough by they’re hero coming out and just destroying whatever integrity they had left?
They have to spin it in a way that it still might have happened? F’n liars! That’s all they are, all they ever have been! A disgrace to football!
They’re nothing without Celtic! Their support barely gets beyond the UK! Legends in only their own minds! The only thing saving them is the Ranger bias Scotish media, the Ranger bias SFA and the Ranger bias Scotish government, who, just to stop these supporters from tearing up their own city, have decided to equally blame both clubs for the disgrace that was last Wednesdays match!
Their players made absolute fools of themselves to the entire world! Their support did the same following the match! Celtic were composed, disciplined and professional!
Dominant aswell! Being linked to that mob in the aftermath is the real Scotland Shame!!!
