Celtic Too many villains

- Kevin Graham

Football is littered with pantomime villains but it’s also full of those, who have an extended interest in the game, believing in their own fickle minds that players are actual villains. Villains who deserve to be abused for 90 minutes.

Kyle Lafferty took centre stage at Celtic Park last week, charging around failing to get sent off and he reacted to the crowd when being substitute­d. This week Neil Lennon spoke the unwritten truth, then over-celebrated a Hibs goal at Ibrox. Fans called for the death penalty for both men. The only thing in common is some fans abusing these players think Scotland 2017 is actually Belfast in the early 1980s.

We have been told to move on over the summer but the only thing that needs to move on in the game are these fans.
