red cards for Neil and Ally

The alcohol-fuelled trouble at Old Firm games (remember them?) is down to Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist.

Faced with clamp-downs on pubs near football grounds, Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association (SLTA), says: "The players and managers are part of the problem here."

Waterson is right. Many a time and oft on the Gallowgate just before kick-off at Celtic Park I have observed this Lennon fellow standing outside pubs when he should be up at the stadium giving his team talk.
