Celtic’s Lennon in more trouble after fresh outburst


GLASGOW: Celtic manager Neil Lennon could find himself in more hot water with the Scottish Football Association (SFA) after yet again berating match officials who he claimed constantly give the big refereeing decisions against his side.
The Hoops boss was left fuming after a number of contentious decisions went against the Scottish Premier League leaders before Anthony Stokes’s stoppage-time penalty salvaged a point in a drama-filled 1-1 draw away to bottom of the table Hamilton on Wednesday.
Lennon was handed a six-match touchline ban by the SFA this week after his appeal for being sent to the stand in a match against Hearts was rejected and he could receive a further ban for comments made following that game.
“I’m angry at some aspects of our play but angry about some of the decisions that have gone against us as well,” Lennon said.
“I just want the officials to do their jobs properly.
“You are talking about big moments in the game again. You are talking about Hamilton’s goal, which shouldn’t have been a goal, and you are talking about a penalty which we should have had.
“It seems to be every week. I don’t want to say anything cause I’m in enough trouble as it is, but it seems to be every other game now that big decisions seem to have gone against us and it’s frustrating,” the 39-year-old former Northern Ireland midfielder said.
