Absent Lennon issues apology over McCoist clash

Neil Lennon has apologised to the Celtic board after his clash with Ally McCoist at the end of Wednesday night’s controversial Scottish Cup fifth round replay win over Rangers at Parkhead as it emerged that a suspicious package addressed to the Celtic boss had been intercepted.

Lennon and the Rangers assistant boss had to be separated at the end of an ill-tempered game which saw three visiting players sent off.
