Lennon welcomes explaining Collum comments
Referee Willie Collum booked Anthony Stokes for simulation in injury time with the Celtic boss believing that his side should have been awarded a penalty.
Lennon was critical of the decision afterwards and has been asked to explain those comments to the SFA.
Despite other managers being much more critical of referees and other SFA officials the Celtic boss will have to appear before the SFA to answer questions about his after match comments.
“I’m looking forward to giving my response,” the hoops boss said. “I’ve got until the 30th of March to do that and will submit my response next week.
“I don’t think that I need to (explain myself) but if I need to I’ll go along and state my case. I look forward to stating my case before the panel.
“Anthony Stokes was booked for diving and my players don’t cheat. I can’t tolerate them being accused of cheating when we have the best disciplinary record in the division.
“I still say it was a penalty when Anthony went down and we have photographic evidence to prove that was the case.”
Sunday’s match with Rangers at Ibrox will be refereed by Calum Murray.
