Bhoys won’t gloat, vows Lennon

If Motherwell fail to beat Kilmarnock at Rugby Park today, the Hoops can win the title at the home of their greatest rivals for the first time since 1967.

That is the scenario the authorities have dreaded since the 1999 Old Firm “shame game” when there was trouble on and off the pitch when Rangers won 3-0 at Celtic Park to clinch the championship.

The Celtic boss though, who hopes winger James Forrest (ankle) and Gary Hooper (dead leg) recover for the trip to Govan, moved to take some heat out of what could potentially be an incendiary situation.
