One Hearts fan won’t be looking forward to the new year, step forward Andrew Archibald
After years of jovial ‘banter’ including celebrating John Wilson’s touchline attack in 2011 Neil Lennon has always been fair game to the Gorgie bigots.
Anything goes with the Irishman, after all he brings it on himself as so many experts and Gary Caldwell have explained.

Painting ‘HANG NEIL LENNON’ near Tynecastle added to the fun, just as well he was Irish and catholic otherwise Show Racism The Red Card (Scotland) and others would be on the case.
Getting that slogan on a maroon t-shirt probably seemed like a great idea to the Uber-Jambo, show it off to the lads with no-one saying a word, after all Tommy Robinson is a big of a hero among most Hearts supporters with Ann Budge and the club reluctant to step in and root out a sizeable sector of the support that is paying back the CVA that the club took on.
When his face appeared on Sky Sports coverage of the Edinburgh derby it was 15 minutes of fame too much for Archibald.
Social media picked up on it, the Daily Record and The Sun joined in. That 1-0 win over Lennon at Easter Road is going to come at quite a cost for one of the Gorgie Billy Boys.
