Are BT having a laugh? Did they get the wrong side? 

 

I'll be honest, I don't blame Rangers for that.

They (SevCo) are being pathetic but what on earth do BT think they're doing having those two in as colour commentators?  Red rag to a bull by BT for no obvious gain. 

[GinRummy]

😂 playing to the crowd Rangers but when there’s cash involved them and their auld pals ra Celtic know how to close ranks. As John Lydon said ‘ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated’.

Time will tell. I expect them to go unpunished.

Rangers fans should be eternally grateful to Lennon for messing up 10 in a row.

Drama Queens might complain. 

 

BT are just getting on with it doing programme from London. 

 

Don't see what Rangers have done wrong. Quite funny though.

Celtic fan protests against Lennon were a major public safety problem. 

 

Quite right to avoid that sort of thing.

I see. Perhaps a neutral venue for them all would have been better all things considered when it comes to the arse cheeks.

They're just saying that two controversial figures aren't allowed in their ground. They've every right to do that (I can't stand either of the ugly sisters btw). They aren't telling BT who can work for them and we all know they don't even have to be in the ground to do that job.

 

[Boris]

Speaks volumes about how Rangers regard their fans if that's seen as a security risk. If Rangers can't guarantee media safety, should they be allowed fans in?

[Mikey1874]

 

[db211833]

BT are idiots for thinking that could work. Neil Lennon in a glass box surrounded by 50k baying Rangers fans, what could go wrong.

This sort of thing has antagonised Rangers fans. Without suggesting anyone is to blame, Rangers are correct to protect public safety

Rangers just making up the rules as they go along now.  I hope they get hammered.

Totally it was worth it Neil.

Why?  No other support would be likely to attack people?  If the huns can't control their support then it's their own fault

In defence of the Rangers. Sorry, I've lost my train of thought

[whodanny]

Sevco ? Sellick ? **** the pair o' them

[OTT]

I think its a ridiculous position to be in. Both for Rangers and BT. 

 

Rangers fans should be able to control themselves, equally, BT shouldn't be putting up such obvious hate figures for the Rangers fans. Is a neutral commentary team that hard to find?

Lennon and Sutton were only there to offer punditry on the Celtic game which kicked off at 5:45pm.  The pundits for the Rangers game, which kicks off at 8pm were going to be McCoist and Weir.  BT, as they have done previously, use a single studio set up  for both Celtic and Rangers games when they have different kick off times.

 

If the presence of Lennon and/or Sutton is deemed a security risk, then why were the Celtic directors, management and players who were there on 29th August also not a security risk.

That's the point though. 

What do you think would happen if Hearts started to deny access to Tynecastle to the various OF clones appointed by the media. 

If they are unable to guarantee the safety of public figures they shouldn't be allowed any fans at the game. 

Unsurprised at the usual suspects on here sticking up for Sevco.

To even think of not taking Rangers to task is a joke and you should hang your head in shame for your seeming support of them regarding this issue

Wonder if that is the case (and Rangers are legitemit with security concerns) its more that Sutton and Lennon might be leaving Ibrox at the same time as Rangers fans enter it.

 

Think Rangers are over-reacting and playing to the crowd though.

Thought long and hard about all possible scenarios . Nothing that could happen would , in my opinion , be 'wrong'

We can't stand him but I think our fans wouldn't attack him.  

There's no way him doing thst should be a big issue.  If it is, it's our problem. 

The slagging he'd get would be great.

One incident doesn't mean our fans are that bad.

I think it is a huge own goal by Rangers.

Add to that the vandalising of the Lyons bus, and the Famine and BB singalong that will start at 8pm, they will be in big trouble - probably fans banned from Europe games . . . at least.  Fully deserved.

 

[Taffin]

Vandalising the bus is out of order 

 

The amount of Jimmy rustling the club itself is doing at the moment is quite amusing imo. All for it.

Uefa will take them to task.  It's them that has the contract with BT.  They won't just let it pass by.

[132goals1958]

It’s a sad indictment that 2 pundits who played and managed for a rival club should be viewed as potentially a security risk. Doesn’t show Scotland in a very good light.

This isn't a new low for new rangers.  Comparatively speaking, it's a high.  I know what the OP means though.  Effectively he's saying it's yet another low.

[SectionDJambo]

Rangers are the best PR machine that Celtic have at their disposal. All the vile stuff that comes from Celtic fans is usually overshadowed by the extremes of Rangers and their fans.

I realise that Lennon has been a very devisive, controversial figure over the years, and he has played on the bigoted hatred of Rangers fans to the point of blaming it on his many examples of ignorant behaviour. However, this is just nonsense. Him and Sutton were to be there as part of a BT Sport double header, giving views only on the Celtic match. 

I'm more surprised that Lennon, and Sutton, agreed to go to Ibrox for this broadcast in the first place. They must be aware of the reception they were likely to get. Somebody at BT Sport at a bit of chicanery?

Glasgow Is Smiles Better right enough.
