Cops let Rangers fans off the hook

[ian1964 10,444]

ALAN THOMPSON has claimed cops should have hammered Rangers fans for hurling "horrendous" abuse at Neil Lennon.

 

The Celtic coach admitted he was gobsmacked that police failed to take action during Sunday's Old Firm clash at Ibrox.

 

He blasted: "I heard some horrendous things going up the tunnel at the end. It's staggering that people can shout some of the things they did."

 

Hoops boss Lennon - under 24-hour protection after sickening death threats - was quizzed by police for cupping his ears to the Gers fans at the end of the 0-0 draw.

 

But Thompson reckons it was the RANGERS fans who should have come under scrutiny after showering Lennon with abuse.

 

He told SunSport: "The fans seem to be able to say what they want and get away with it.

 

"I was two feet in front of Neil and was surprised that nothing was done, especially with such a large police presence in that vicinity."

 

Strathclyde Police won't be taking complaints about Lennon's gesture any further after speaking to him about the incident.

 

And Thompson defended his under-fire manager adding: "For Neil to only put his hands to his ears considering what was said, I can't see a problem with that.

 

"I scored a penalty at Ibrox once and did the same thing. It's just a reaction.

 

"I thought it was fairly humorous on Neil's part. I don't think there was any malice there."

Knowing you for a few weeks it would probably be more like a brothel.

Seems to have evened itself out then. No action taken against Lennon and none taken against the big bad Rangers fans.

 

Boo fuckin hoo Thompson.
