Celtic boss Neil Lennon awaits fate after clash with referee Euan Norris

Celtic boss Neil Lennon faces an anxious wait to see if he will face any action after another clash with referee Euan Norris.

Lennon was called into the official’s room after the Hoops’ 3-1 Scottish Premier League defeat at Motherwell on Sunday.

The Northern Irishman was already serving a three-match touchline ban at Fir Park, which dated back to a run-in with Norris following last season’s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Hearts at Hampden.

Lennon was handed a six-match suspension for running on to the pitch after the game to confront Norris over a penalty given against his side and the three-match suspended part of it was triggered earlier in the month when he was found guilty of using offensive language during a match at St Mirren Park on 31 March.

The former Celtic skipper was in the stands on Sunday to see Norris award a second-half spot-kick to Motherwell when Charlie Mulgrew tangled with Henrik Ojamaa and is understood to have had words with the official in the tunnel.

Asked after the game if he had spoken to the referee, Lennon said: “He called me into his room. It was about a number of things but we’ll leave that confidential for now.”

On whether he might be in further trouble with the authorities, Lennon added: “I don’t know. Maybe.”

The Parkhead boss has to wait to see what, if anything, is contained in Norris’s report, which has to be submitted to the Scottish Football Association within 48 hours of the game.
