Lennon set to face SFA over alleged abuse

Neil Lennon and the Scottish Football Association (SFA) appear to be on a collision course after the Celtic manager was served with a Notice of Complaint following his sending off at half-time during the 3-2 defeat by Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday.

After complaining to referee Calum Murray in the tunnel about his performance, with the visitors a goal down and having had defender Cha Du-ri sent-off, a dismissal Celtic have appealed against, Lennon was ordered to the stand although he watched the rest of the match in the media room.

The Parkhead boss has allegedly breached rule 203 which pertains to “misconduct at a match by dissent, the adoption of aggressive behaviour towards a match official and the repeated use of offensive, abusing and insulting language” and has until next Tuesday to respond.
