CHRIS SUTTON has told Gary Caldwell he should be ‘Embarrassed’ by his comments in the aftermath of his former teammate being struck by a coin from the stands at Tynecastle.

Neil Lennon was hit by a pound coin by a Hearts fan late in the game seeing the former Celtic boss receiving treatment on the sideline.

Gary Caldwell spoke after the game on BBC Sportsound that it was terrible to see but Neil Lennon brings this stuff on himself at times.

This is a narrative that is pushed by the apologists and the people who dislike Neil Lennon – it’s poor to see Gary piling on top of that with his comment.

Chris Sutton wasn’t impressed one bit, even if the former Celtic defender half-heartedly apologised on social media afterwards.

“He is the manager of Partick Thistle,” Sutton told Record Sport. “So what happens if his team score a last-minute winner way from home. Does he gets caught up in the moment and celebrates in front of home fans and gets a coin in the face for his troubles?

“Will he simply hold his hands up and say he was asking for it?

“Do me a favour. Caldwell should be embarrassed by his comments and with the swift apology I suspect he is.

  1. No, why should Caldwell be embarrassed. He was only speaking the truth and you Sutton are trying to simplify the situation. Lennon should be ashamed of himself as he courts trouble wherever he goes, yes even in England. We all know he is trying to sneak his old Celtic job back that he foolishly gave up for pastures new Well I as a Celtic fan of seventy years do not want to see him back.

    • Sorry Frank you’re wrong! Years ago I heard a radio host aver that Lennon deserved all he got for being hospitalised after being battered unconscious by two thugs off Bytes Road one night. His crime? Having the audacity to venture out to socialise after a bad result for Celtic. You really couldn’t make it up. Only in Scotland as they say. And attitudes like yours only reinforce attitudes held in this bigot-rife wee cesspit Frank.

    • Frank, you couldn’t be more wrong. So called fans probably just like you, hide behind the truth. This ir total religious and racist bigotry at its finest. Caldwell was out of order. As a manager on the touchline he should know better. Maybe if there are more than a dozen or so fans at his games one day he’s going to understand passion. Neil
      Lennon has been targeted since the day he came to Celtic, and now almost five years after he has been gone, he is still targeted! The SFA and old SPL used to make up rules just to penalize Neil Lennon. They are an embarrassment. They did everything in their bullying power to stop him being a success. He had represented Northern Ireland as a Leicester City player several times without issue. The first cap after he had signed for Celtic he was warned that he was going to be shot on the park if he played. It continued until he finally quit playing for NI. He was targeted by referees in Scotland. He received more bookings than anyone else, for things players in an old now extinct club never even got a free kick against them. As a manager for Celtic he was sent bullets and bombs in the mail. After standing up for Lennon and other known Catholic government officials, his very good friend and QC was mysteriously found dead on a road trip in South Africa. As a Celtic Manager he was attacked by a fan at Tynecastle, seen on tv by millions, yet a Scottish judge still managed to find the attack “not proven”. The SFA created an offence because a “fan” complained he heard Lennon swear on the touchline! Yeah, I get all that. After all no-one at a game, on the park, off the park, in the dugouts, on the terraces etc ever use foul language. Actually Frank, you have embarrassed yourself too. You clearly are a racist bigot yourself. You can’t keep blaming Neil Lennon because your old team are dead!

  2. Aye deserves all he gets. Well he is a Catholic, he is Irish, he did play for Celtic, he is ginger, and em . . . . well he I is Neil Lennon. Get a feckin grip!
