Gers’ woes irrelevant, says jubilant Lawwell

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has described Rangers losing 10 points for going into administration as “irrelevant” to the Hoops’ Clydesdale Bank Premier League title win.

The ailing Ibrox club’s automatic punishment by the SPL in mid-February left them trailing their Old Firm rivals by 14 points. Celtic never looked back and Neil Lennon was able to enjoy his first title win as Hoops boss after a comprehensive 6-0 win at Kilmarnock yesterday.

The 10-point advantage Celtic were handed has led to arguments and debate over a ’tainted title’ but Lawwell is having none of it.
