Celtic manager Neil Lennon will serve a three-match touchline ban after a suspended suspension was triggered when he was found guilty of misconduct during a game against St Mirren, the Scottish Football Association announced on Thursday. An SFA disciplinary tribunal found that Lennon had breached competition rules when he used offensive language against St Mirren captain Jim Goodwin during the Scottish Premier League encounter on March 31. Although no sanction was imposed, Lennon had a suspended three-match ban against his name from last season that came into effect.

Celtic are to seek "clarification" from UEFA regarding referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco's performance in the 3-0 Champions League defeat by Juventus, manager Neil Lennon revealed Friday. Lennon was scathing about the performance of the Spanish match official immediately after Tuesday's last-16, first-leg loss at Parkead, a defeat that rendered the return leg in Turin all but redundant. And the Hoops boss repeated those comments Friday during what was meant to be a news conference previewing Saturday's Scottish Premier League match at home to Dundee United.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon admits his side need a miracle if they are to overturn a 3-0 home defeat to Juventus in their Champions League last 16 first leg tie at Parkhead. The Italian champions put on a clinical display to triumph in Glasgow as they soaked up intense pressure and capitalised on defensive errors to all but book their place in the last eight of the competition. The Hoops travel to Turin in three weeks time for the return leg and Lennon admitted his side face an almost impossible task.
