Lennon sets the record straight
While Celtic’s achievements, without having to write off millions of pounds in debt owed to the public purse, are overlooked, the hoops boss was happy to set the record straight as Nimmo Smith’s guilty verdict is overlooked to celebrate a paltry punishment.
“It wasn’t our fight, it was the SPL, they brought up the tribunal against Rangers,” Lennon explained as he was questioned on the Nimmo Smith investigation.
“It doesn’t affect us, we have the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup to prepare for and we are playing Juventus in the last 16 of the Champions league, we are not renting out a training ground.
Lennon added: “Listen, we have been nothing but positive, we have talked the game up all year, it is everybody else who has been talking about other things outside of our club.
“We have been a shining example to any other club this season, on and off the field. If people want to take the game forward, I am all for it, then they better get their finger out and do it.
“If you look at what we have done, I think a lot of the shine has been taken off that. But we have done nothing wrong, we have tried to promote the game not just domestically but also in Europe and I think we have done that very well so we don’t have to do anything else.
“Other people have to stop talking and show more action.”
Despite the guilty verdict on his former club disgraced Campbell Ogilvie remains president of the SFA.
