On The Eve Of A Game The Record Asks If Lennon Or Hector Is “More Hated At Ibrox?”
The Daily Record aimed for, and found, bottom when they wrote that diabolical headline prior to our final visit to Ibrox in 2012. Their objective in doing so has never been properly established, but you have to ponder the kind of mind that comes up with that when our manager had been subjected to death threats, assaults and the even bombs. What they did not expect was Celtic’s reaction on behalf of our then manager; Celtic cut off all contact and co-operation with the paper instantly, branding the headline “inflammatory and offensive.” We demanded a full apology before any sort of relationship would be restored, and just days later the paper was in full-scale grovel mode, giving us an unreserved one. “We would hope that this kind of ill-judged reporting does not occur again,” was Celtic’s venomous response.
