Lennon handed `severe censure'
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has escaped with a "severe censure" following his latest appearance before a Scottish Football Association committee.
Lennon was warned about his future conduct by the general purposes committee after being asked to explain his comments following a defeat by Rangers in October.
Celtic striker Gary Hooper was handed a £2,000 fine for comments he made about referees, but the punishment was suspended for 18 months.
Lennon encountered a more lenient punishment at his second personal appearance at Hampden within a week after previously being handed a six-match touchline ban by the disciplinary committee.
Celtic's lawyers are preparing an appeal against that suspension, for Lennon's banishment to the stand during a defeat by Hearts, but the Irishman could still face more action after comments following that loss.
