Lennon proud of `composed' players
Celtic have declared themselves satisfied with their players' behaviour after a chaotic Old Firm match sparked questions in the Scottish Parliament.
Both clubs have been summoned to a meeting with Scottish Government and police officials following Celtic's 1-0 Scottish Cup win, which saw Rangers trio Steven Whittaker, Madjid Bougherra and El-Hadji Diouf sent off.
The match ended with Celtic boss Neil Lennon reacting furiously to something said by Rangers assistant Ally McCoist.
Rangers have claimed the tension was caused by "extreme verbal abuse" directed towards two of their players in previous Old Firm fixtures.
But Lennon believes his team's ability to remain calm was the key to setting up a Scottish Cup quarter-final at Inverness.
"We tried to play football throughout the game and, over and above that, I was delighted that, in such an atmosphere, the team remained composed and disciplined during what was, at times, a difficult game," Lennon told www.celticfc.net.
