Lennon criticises rookie ref

NEIL LENNON claimed Old Firm rookie referee Willie Collum let him down on two crucial decisions during the 3-1 defeat by Rangers at Parkhead yesterday.

The result ended Celtic’s 100% run in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and took the visitors three points clear at the top.

In the lead-up to the match the Bhoys’ boss had appealed for 31-year-old Collum, making his debut in the fixture, to get the big decisions right. Lennon was still seething from last Sunday when Dougie McDonald awarded his side a penalty at Dundee United then changed his mind – and he had also pointed back to last season when he felt big decisions in two Old Firm games had gone against his side.
