Lennon handed three-match ban

Celtic captain Neil Lennon has been banned for three matches for his clash with referee Stuart Dougal after the Old Firm derby on August 20.

The former Northern Ireland international was dismissed by the match official following the Hoops’ 3-1 defeat by Rangers at Ibrox.

But the 34-year-old appeared to barge Dougal after he was shown a red card after the final whistle.

Lennon attended a Scottish Football Association disciplinary hearing at Hampden Park today, along with Celtic manager Gordon Strachan.
