In the early hours of this morning, the home of Peter Lawwell was the subject of an attack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Somone threw a petrol bomb or similar device at one of his cars, causing serious damage to the property.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fortunately, no one was hurt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m not going to speculate on who might have done it. Thats for others to do when they find cctv images.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m not going to suggest what punishment they should receive, again, thats for others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A few years ago, Lawwell told me that he worried about the staff at Celtic Park who opened the mail during the period when bullets and bombs were making headlines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lawwell, for all his faults, lives and breathes Celtic, and although we may differ in our opinions about how things are done, whatever he did he always did it in what he thought were the best interests of the club.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And there was always the risk that someone, somewhere would take it personally and do something like what happened this morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It happened to Neil Lennon, it has happened to countless supporters, and now its happened to the CEO.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We can no longer be associated with “rangers ” and their brand, and we can no longer be involved in a sporting environment that tolerates them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The way I see it, its time for Celtic to withdraw from this poisonous environment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s simply not worth it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If that means joining the lower reaches of the English league, so be it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Or anywhere else for that matter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Enough is enough, its simply not worth it any more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our revenge, too, can be the laughter of our children.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leave them all to rot in their own mess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
