Neil Lennon has reportedly received an official warning from the Scottish FA following his post-match comments after Dunfermline’s defeat to Hamilton Accies.
The former Celtic boss, now managing the Pars in a short-term role, was left furious by referee Euan Anderson’s decisions during the Championship clash. Lennon was particularly angered by the disallowing of a Lewis McCann goal and what he believed was a clear penalty shout waved away.
Speaking in the aftermath, Lennon didn’t hold back. “I don’t know if Hamilton or the referee’s decisions beat us today,” he said. “I’ve seen some strange decisions this week, and a lot have gone against my team. We’ll talk to Willie Collum about it, it’s not good enough.”
According to reports in The Scottish Sun, these remarks have now led to a written warning being issued by the SFA, reminding the Celtic legend about his future conduct.
Dunfermline has since held talks with the SFA about the refereeing decisions, The Courier reports. Lennon, and other club members, sat down and made their points, while the governing body provided their opinions and feedback.
The warning adds another layer to Lennon’s fiery return to Scottish football, which has seen him tasked with steering Dunfermline away from relegation trouble. Despite some positive moments since taking over, frustrations have clearly boiled over, and the SFA have opted to step in early to avoid further disciplinary issues. Lennon has received two bookings in his first three games with the Pars.
