Celtic boss Neil Lennon praises Scott Brown’s reaction to abuse

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has commended skipper Scott Brown for handling a”dreadful” situation outside Ibrox.
Brown was taunted on the passing of the sister Fiona, who died in 2008, while boarding the team bus after Celtic’s 2-0 win over Rangers earlier this month.
A 15-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the incident, which has been captured on video.
Rangers apologised and issued a life ban.
Lennon said:”I’ve had a brief chat with him about it and that I think he handled the problem very well.
“It’s unbelievably hard [not to respond ]. I really don’t understand what I’d have done. I’m old now and Scott is much more mature. Perhaps five or six decades back it could have been a different result.
“I’m not certain what lad was attempting to prove or what his thought process was, even when he had one at all. It’s disgusting.
“I think it’s awful, horrendous. To even think about that say it, is horrendous.
“I applaud Rangers for the swift action they took and also the service lots of their fans have contributed to Scott but it’s got to stop. There’s no call for it.
“We are talking not only here, at Britain now there appears to be this uprising in a great deal of racism again. It is rearing its ugly head.
“We have a sectarian problem here, we know that.
“Ninety five percent of supporters are really great also, like Scott said, he doesn’t mind during the game, but if we are out and about on the streets attempting to live our own lives, we aren’t at a soccer ground. They’ve no right to abuse or insult folks in that manner.”
Brown pinpointed media as a stage that has allowed comments to spiral, also Lennon agreed.
“It occasionally makes young ones think that it’s all right,” he said. “It is not.
“Again we have men and women in authority and players of the highest calibre asking social networking networks to clamp down on it. It has to stop.
“There is no accountability or responsibility for these individuals to put out to a public forum what they need to say. We are living in a democracy but a line has to be drawn because it is against the law.
“These programs allow this illegality to happen.”
Lennon himself arrived off Twitter after locating the negativity affected him.
“I got off it,” he said. “One, it took up a lot of the time, it played my head a bit sometimes andthree, it could be quite upsetting too.
“We are decent human beings believe it or notthe vast majority people, but we’re portrayed to be something different by people who don’t know .
“There is a whole lot of good things come out of social media too. The lads do a whole lot of charity work or even promote charities but this underbelly leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth also can be quite upsetting for people.”
