Lennon rues ‘horrible’ ref call

Angry Celtic boss Neil Lennon claimed referee Willie Collum had cost his club the chance of a possible treble after a “criminal decision’’ not to award the Bhoys a last-minute penalty in the Scottish Communities League Cup final at Hampden.

As Celtic chased the equaliser, striker Anthony Stokes went to ground after a challenge by Killie defender Michael Nelson and in instead of celebrating a spot-kick, he was horrified to be booked for simulation.

Celtic could wrap up the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title at Ibrox next week and are in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, but Lennon was adamant Collum had prevented his side winning a treble this season.
