Storm in a tea-cup
The prospect of another report going to the SFA over his behaviour has not come to pass for Neil Lennon Neil Lennon has played down his spat with another official during Celtic's friendly at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday night. Spanish referee Iturralde Gonzalez took exception to the Celtic manager after 35 minutes of the game at San Mames. The game, which ended in a goalless draw, was staged during the international break to raise funds for local youth teams in Bilbao. Lennon, who is currently serving an eight-game SFA imposed touchline ban, was ordered from the dugout by Gonzalez and was escorted to the stand by a security guard. There were concerns that any report on the game to be forwarded to the SFA would include reference to the unfortunate incident. However, it has since been clarified by Gonzalez that he will not be forwarding a report to Hampden. Lennon claimed the official over-reacted in any case. Speaking on his Twitter site, Lennon said: "Ref over fussy as I disputed a free-kick - anyway we played some scintillating stuff against a class side and we should have won. Amazing game. We played fantastic football. The young boys were immense while senior guys played superbly, so proud."
