We are all Neil Lennon – Stand up for Neil, chant his name on 18th Minute today

THE CELTIC support will show it’s complete solidarity with Neil Lennon today and will rise to their feet to chant ‘There’s Only One Neil Lennon’ on the 18th minute.

For many, the reason for the 18th Minute Tribute is that Neil Lennon has been subjected to sickening racist and sectarian, and often violent abuse for 18 years since arriving in Scotland. Bombs, bullets, assaults on the street and at his place of work – it really is horrific stuff.

Very bravely, Neil called out the racists and the bigots yesterday, today the Celtic support will stand 100% behind him. The Hibs fans are likely to to the same.

The Hearts fans – around 400 of them – will also have their chance to support the message of support for Neil Lennon today or not.

The Scottish establishment – the media, the politicians, the various publicly funded bodies such as Show Racism the Red Card and Nil By Mouth need to get off the fence and get the message across that enough is enough.

On the 18th Minute today the collective Celtic voice will be heard. We are all Neil Lennon.

Enjoy the game. COYBIG…There’s only one Neil Lennon!
