Old Firm fallout?

As we all know(or the majority of us will anyway), last Wednesday's Old Firm clash caused a lot of trouble, with 3 sending offs and two bust up's in the technical area, it certainly was more eventful than the last few clashes. Ally McCoist and Neil Lennon both will be up in front of the SFA disciplinary soon and it's fair to say they'll both get big bans, and who's to argue otherwise?




What I don't get however, is how Rangers are made out to be the bad guys and Celtic the good guys? Both were at fault. Lennon and Mjallby were at fault for having go's at Diouf when Diouf was getting information from Smith and McCoist on the touchline, McCoist and Diouf maybe shouldn't have reacted but lets face it? If your getting abuse hurled at you or your player from an opposing manager what are you going to do?

Diouf was equally at fault though throughout the match, on his way over to Smith and McCoist before previously mentioned incident he does nudge the Celtic physio which is wrong as well. However it is not purely Diouf or McCoists fault is it? This is what is being made out in the papers and other media.

Neil Lennon has been at the centre of a number of incidents but do we see anything being said about him? He calls a referee "a f*cking cheat", what happens? Neil Lennon, Ally McCoist, Johan Mjally, El Hadji Diouf are all partly to blame for Wednesday's fiasco, as is another man, the man in the middle, Callum Murray.
