ian1964 10,720 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ALLY McCOIST last night told rival Neil Lennon to butt out of Rangers' affairs. Gers gaffer McCoist was stunned to hear of Lennon's explosive attack on the SPL champions. Not even the Celtic manager's sympathy for his Ibrox woes prevented McCoist from hitting back. McCoist went as far as to effectively accuse Lennon of being a hypocrite. That charge was sparked by recalling the outspoken Northern Irishman's attack on Walter Smith nearly two years ago. Then, Lennon, on the back of an Old Firm win, slaughtered Smith for having a go at Andreas Hinkel. He said: "It's not Walter's place. I don't comment on Rangers, I never have done, certainly not as a manager anyway." McCoist was mindful of those words when he chose to reply to Lennon's blast at Rangers for their financial crisis. He said: "I am a bit surprised if Neil has said that because I remember him telling Walter to mind his own business when he said something about Celtic. "I'm not certain and I'm not starting a war of words because it's the last thing the clubs need and it's the last thing the supporters want to hear. "But I'd find it surprising if he had said that. It isn't normal, especially when it's nothing to do with the other club. "I don't think our troubles are directly anything to do with anyone else. "There is nothing direct to do with Celtic, so I would find that surprising and a little bit disappointing." McCoist is desperately trying to keep Gers' title hopes alive as they prepare for tomorrow's Scottish Cup clash with Dundee United amid mounting cash worries. However he remains in fighting mood, anxious to ensure there's no negativity within his squad. A team meeting on Wednesday saw fired-up McCoist ram home the message that Celtic aren't unbeatable as he uses the off-field problems to create a siege mentality. He added: "No one has put us in the financial state we are in bar ourselves. Of that there is no doubt. Rangers must shoulder the responsibility. It's nobody else's problem. "But we believe we can maintain a challenge in the league and the Cup. "That's what we must do. And we must get our fans behind us. That squad of lunatics in the Copland Road have been nothing short of sensational. I mean that as a term of endearment. Our away support this season has been magical too. "We had a good squad meeting on Wednesday to say to everybody how positive we must be. Everybody is looking for a siege mentality." McCoist faced tough questions at Murray Park and tackled each of them without flinching. Even the one that posed the growing belief that cash-strapped Gers are now in the business of making bids they KNOW are going to be rejected â?? last summer's £300,000 offer for St Johnstone ace Murray Davidson and Tuesday's £1million bid for Norwich City hitman Grant Holt just a few examples. McCoist said: "I can totally appreciate a lot of people might think you are taking the mickey a bit. "All I know is we put bids in and sometimes they get accepted, sometimes they get knocked back. "Regarding Grant Holt, I phoned up Paul Lambert. I've known Paul a long time. He told me the player was not for sale and he was happy with his squad. "Wycombe Wanderers, Doncaster Rovers, they will get a budget and I guarantee the manager would want more. I'm no different. "I don't think my hands are tied behind my back, that's just the situation we are in."

54andcounting 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Aye Lennon...what a fanny, but we've always known that, can't wait to see his tormented deluded fuckface come May when Ally & Co are runnin' about with that familiar trophy. TLB will then be confined to oblivion and all the Bears will NEVER have to put up with his shite no more. That twat and his kind have more hate to us than love for their own. Sad chunt really.

Guest Dutchy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I heard someone on the radio tonight saying that septic will have just as much presure on them to win the league because if they can't with Ranger in this state, their best chance in years, then it's curtains for that sleazy mob. Or words to that effect. If we do win the title, the look on their faces, and many others will be like winning another 50. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Such arseholes on that station these day, seemingly co-ordinated by Chick Young, pissed off at not getting his usual 'exclusive' interviews and Jim Spence, self proclaimed ginger catholic with a job!!! And not very good at it, but that's less proclaimed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
