Oh Scottish football, please never change
In a normal world, Hibernian drawing 5-5 with Rangers should have been the most newsworthy and funny thing about Scottish football today, but this is not a normal world, and the Scottish Premiership is not a normal league.
Neil Lennon’s side had raced into a 3-0 lead inside the first half, before his side conceded five goals, finding themselves 5-3 down to a very happy Rangers team.
It all looked pretty downhill for Hibs and Lennon at that point. It did not seem like a day which would at one point see Lennon doing an airplane celebration on the pitch.
But thankfully, today was that day. Going into the fourth minute of injury time 5-4 down, Hibs’ Jamie Maclaren scored his third of the game, equalling the score and sending Easter Road into rapturous delight.
Look at Neil Lennon! 😂😂😂
He runs on the pitch to celebrate Hibs' late equaliser!

It was at this point that Lennon, presumably seconds after having his body taken over by an excitable toddler, sprinted onto the pitch with his arms extended, like said toddler ignoring a “Stay Off The Grass” sign in favour of living his best life.
He then continued to run with a face which suggested that, right then and there, he was the happiest person in the world, leaning left and then right as his little airplane weaved through invisible obstacles.
He finished it off with a lovely little run up and fist pump in the air, before being swiftly sent off by referee Andrew Dallas.
But Lennon didn’t care, because he is an airplane.
