McLeod has no regrets over war of words with SPL

Celtic chief executive Ian McLeod claimed yesterday that he had no regrets over his comments during the club’s feud with the Scottish Premier League.

The clubs have reluctantly accepted the date of April 27 for the final Old Firm showdown of the season after Strathclyde Police’s advice.

But the atmosphere between the Glasgow giants and SPL chiefs is still simmering after McLeod and Martin O’Neill’s accusations of bias during the last week. The Celtic chief was angry that they will have to play Rangers in a possible title decider just two days after returning home from their UEFA Cup semi-final second leg tie in Boavista, but he was far from remorseful after today’s Hampden Park meeting.
