No manager or player should ever have to endure attacks on the pitch or in the street, regardless of how much of a horses rear end they are.
HOWEVER questions have to be asked as to why a high profile catholic manager of Celtic (Martin O'Neill) wasn't attacked or abused and was even grudgingly respected by Rangers fans and well liked by most other Scottish fans yet another high profile Catholic manager (Neil Lennon) is absolutely loathed by most fans out with Celtic.
Is it because he is Catholic or more to do with him?
His backing of the disgusting oxygen thieves known as the Green Brigade and their disgusting repertoire of songs plus the constant fanning of some fans paranoia hasnt helped him at all.

Funnily enough the last time I can think of a manager in Scotland being attacked was Paul le Guen. A catholic Rangers manager attacked by Celtic fans after a Hearts game.
