Sky Sports journalist and producer Andrew Dickson has told Neil Lennon to take responsibility for his own actions.
Dickson is a former employee of both Rangers (IL) and Sevco having TUPE’d over his contract in 2012, famously he provided a moving report on a training ground match between the bibs and non bibs as Ally McCoist prepared for a Petrofac Cup tie at Brechin.
In among all this Lennon stuff, it would be great if he took responsibility for his own actions. As said before, he doesn’t deserve to have coins thrown at him, nor does he ‘bring it on himself’. He is, however, a role model to some as Hibs’ head coach so should act accordingly.

The fact that aspect of this whole Tynecastle episode is being glossed over is pretty ridiculous. People should absolutely act in a civil manner in the stands rather than think they’ve a right to throw missiles – but equally, folk should hold it together on the touchline too.

Lennon was struck on the face by a coin thrown from a Hearts fan during Wednesday’s Edinburgh derby.
On BBC Radio Scotland Gary Caldwell was first out the blocks to claim that he brought it on himself with that theme picked up by many including Alan Brazil, Tony Cascarino and former Police Federation chief Les Gray.
On Friday Lennon answered back discussing the 18 years of racist abuse that he has suffered since moving to Scotland from Leicester City.
After redefining the abuse that he receives as racist the media agenda has been switched from anti-Irish racism to the dangers of coin throwing inside football grounds.
