Dave King issues Neil Lennon defence as he admits his shock at Celtic legend being 'hounded out'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Neil Lennon “hounded out” of Celtic after the implosion of their 10 in a row hopes.The former Rangers chairman - still majority shareholder at Ibrox - famously predicted the Parkhead club would “fold like a pack of cards” if Steven Gerrard could deliver a title to Ibrox.But before that title was even secured Celtic had axed Lennon - manager for five of the 9 in a row run - while chief executive Lawwell - who delivered 29 trophies in 17 years - announced he would leave at the end of the season.It came after furious protests from Celtic fans calling for change in the management and boardroom after their dreams of making history blew up in spectacular fashion.King admits he would have expected the duo to have been afforded the chance to try.
