Lennon frustrated by SPL’s early start

NEIL LENNON has joined Terry Butcher in criticising the early start to the Clydesdale Bank Premier League season.

With a view to improving Scottish clubs’ chances in Europe, the new campaign begins this weekend but Butcher described it as “farcical”, claiming most clubs have still not assembled their squads.

Hoops boss Lennon, whose side travel to Easter Road tomorrow to play Hibernian, backed his Caley counterpart.
