Neil Lennon calls for fans to stop their ‘dangerous rhetoric’
Celtic manager Neil Lennon on the touchline during the Scottish Premier League match at Celtic Park, Glasgow

UNDER-fire boss Neil Lennon has accused sections of the Celtic support of engaging in “dangerous rhetoric” after a “shoot the board” banner was hung outside Parkhead.

The manager and Hoops chiefs Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell have faced increasingly angry protests after a wretched run of two wins in their last 12 games.

Club bosses have reacted to the demonstrations by erecting a ring of steel around the stadium — but the Celtic faithful have used the iron fences as a gallery to display a string of banners calling for Lennon and the board to go.
