O’Neill calls for UEFA common sense in dismissal decision

CELTIC manager Martin O’Neill yesterday called on UEFA to use common sense when dealing with his touchline dismissal against Celta Vigo last week.

French referee Claude Colombo sent the animated boss to the stand in the final minutes of his side's UEFA Cup third round win over the Spanish side. He has since cited ''unsporting behaviour'' from O'Neill for his decision, and UEFA have asked O'Neill for his response.

If found guilty the Celtic boss could be looking at a four-match touchline ban following his sending off in Turin last season.
