Celtic manager Neil Lennon has claimed he and Rangers assistant Ally McCoist have settled their differences following their touchline dispute at Parkhead.

Lennon reacted angrily to something McCoist said as the pair shook hands following Celtic's tempestuous 1-0 Scottish Cup victory, which saw three Rangers players sent off.

Lennon told the club's official website: "It is a passionate game and both of us want our team to win. However, we were still able to sit down after the game and, as far as we are concerned, the matter is closed."

He added: "There was an incident on the touchline at the final whistle between myself and Ally McCoist, and obviously it's one that has attracted a lot of attention.

"We've both got a lot of experience of this fixture and know that sometimes, in the heat of the moment, things can be said and words exchanged."
