Next is Leeann Dempster, of Hibs, who would be my standout choice to replace Lawwell when he finally realises he’s got no further contribution to make to Celtic.
She and her club are highly unlikely to take a positive view on Sevco’s survival; that’s putting it mildly.
If it was in her power to save them, I’d be writing another obituary.
Hibs voted no last time, quite vocally and this summer hasn’t exactly mended fences.
Having just hired Neil Lennon, having defeated Sevco in the now notorious cup final and having been on the receiving end of vicious vitriol from the Ibrox boardroom in the aftermath, especially that directed against the chairman, Rob Petrie, I would suggest it’s unthinkable that Hibs would look kindly on any sort of bailout should one become necessary, as it well might.
