The Scottish Football Association issue a six-match suspension to Celtic manager Neil Lennon for his reaction towards the referee in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon will be banned from the touchline for six matches following his comments towards match officials during the Scottish Cup semi-final.

The 40-year-old was charged with breaching three separate disciplinary rules during his side's 2-1 defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Cup last month.

The Bhoys' coach sparked controversy when he ran onto the pitch following the clash and initiated a heated tirade at match referee Euan Norris.

The Northern Irishman later took to social network site Twitter to suggest that the match officials were "personal" in their decisions during the match.

Lennon will sit out of the club's next three matches, while the additional three-match suspension has been suspended for a later date.
