Neil Lennon believes Michael Beale did the right thing against Partick Thistle and it would be the SAME in an Old Firm.
The Rangers boss allowed the Scottish Championship outfit a walk-through goal in the Scottish Cup fifth round clash at Ibrox. Malik Tillman's Ibrox flashpoint put the home side 2-1 up but the Light Blues boss told his players to allow the visitors to run from kick-off and level up the scoring.
The home side would go on to win the tie 3-2 in the end to earn a quarter-final clash with Raith Rovers. The goal was a major talking point in the aftermath of the showdown. But Celtic hero Lenny was in agreement with the Rangers gaffer and would do the same thing. He said: "Michael Beale did the right thing. You don't want to win the game the way they would've done had Rangers not let Partick Thistle score. It's the right thing to do in any game, in any situation - even the Old Firm. You don't want to win an Old Firm like that."
