Lennon in the dock at Hampden
The Northern Irishman has to explain criticism of referee Willie Collum after the Scottish Communities League Cup final defeat to Kilmarnock at the national stadium where he deemed the official’s decision not to award the Hoops a late penalty as “criminal”.

However, fresh charges are likely to be brought next week following the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final 2-1 defeat by Hearts at Hampden on Sunday.
Lennon marched onto the pitch to confront referee Euan Norris after he awarded a last minute controversial penalty for handball and later re-tweeted a comment from Celtic supporter @DazDiCanio which suggested the club: “pack our bags and get out of this league that is run by crooked £SFA officials”.
