2. The campaign against Jock Stein only started when well meaning Celtic fans put forward an idea that he should be knighted for what he did for Celtic. To target the only person who took action to remove Torbet from his position is sick, they know he has no right of reply, This has only ever been an attack on Jock Stein because he shamed the original Rangers FC on and off the pitch and highlighted what a bigoted club it was, they dont like it when "one of their own" points out their shame. And talking of shame.....shame on the SFA too for not reinstating the name of the East Stand/Terracing at Hampden, which was known as the Jock Stein Terracing until redevelopment took place.
