Weather spares Lennon Old Firm ban
Neil Lennon will be in the Celtic dugout for the Old Firm derby against Rangers at Ibrox on January 2 after another Scottish Football Association hearing was postponed.
The SFA's disciplinary committee were due to meet at Hampden on Monday to discuss the Celtic boss's appeal against an automatic two-match ban for being sent to the stand by referee Craig Thomson during the defeat against Hearts on November 10.
An "excessive misconduct" charge for his reaction to a rejected penalty claim and subsequent dismissal were also to be discussed but, had the automatic ban been upheld, Lennon would have had to watch from the stand for the home game against Motherwell on January 29 and the New Year trip to Ibrox.
However, adverse weather has led to the meeting being cancelled until probably January, leaving Lennon clear to fully carry out his managerial duties over the festive season.
