Celtic accept Lennon sanction
Soccer: Celtic tonight stated they did not problem the ban imposed on manager Neil Lennon from the aftermath of his clash with Rangers assistant boss Ally McCoist to take into consideration “the wider interests of the club and Scottish football”.
Rangers this afternoon did submit an appeal against the two-match touchline ban received by McCoist following his touchline altercation with Lennon within the volatile Scottish Cup tie against Celtic on March 2nd.
But the Scottish Football Association’s 5pm deadline passed without Celtic lodging an appeal.
Ahead of this evening’s Scottish Cup quarter-final at Inverness, Celtic issued a statement on their official website,
Microsoft Office Standard 2010 Product Key, www.celticfc.net,
Office Ultimate 2007 Key, which read: “Celtic confirms that Neil Lennon has not challenged the imposition of an automatic four match suspension arising from your Celtic v Rangers match on March 2nd.
“Neil and the club have decided,
Office 2007 Pro Plus Serial Key, in the wider interests of the club and Scottish football,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus Key, not to appeal against the imposition of the ban,
Microsoft Office Pro 2007 Serial Key, or the reasons for it.”
The Celtic boss is already serving a four-match ban following his dismissal to the stand and subsequent reaction for the period of a 2-0 defeat by Hearts in November and he must sit inside stand for this Sunday’s League Cup final with Rangers.
The Celtic supervisor was handed double the punishment of McCoist given it was his second offence inside the relevant period.
