Neil Lennon has labelled the attacks on Scott Brown during the Glasgow derby as disgraceful.
Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent and Andy Halliday all carried out violent attacks on the Celtic skipper with just one red and one yellow card dished out.
After the final whistle Steven Gerrard claimed that his players had been provoked but other than smiling and laughing there is no evidence to support the claims of the Ibrox boss.
At Ibrox in December Brown was kicked by Morelos who escaped punishment while at the final whistle Scott Arfield led the goading as he mocked his opponent by performing ‘The Broony’.
The Celtic skipper didn’t react at Ibrox and had the full backing of his manager when he was questioned about in-discipline during the match.
The Sun reported:
Not from us. Browny got elbowed and then he got punched or pushed in the face. It’s disgraceful.
You can’t put the two in one basket. Our players kept their discipline very well and Rangers should have been down to nine men rather than ten.
Scott Brown is Scott Brown. He is a veteran of these games and was brilliant again today.
He knows how to handle the occasion, how to handle the opposition, he knows how to handle himself. He doesn’t need any advice from me.
I didn’t see his celebration, I didn’t see where he went. But he takes a lot of flak and maybe he’s given a little bit back.
Again, it’s like he’s the bad boy but he’s not. He’s just giving a little bit back because of the amount of abuse he takes throughout the years.
I understand it because I’ve been there quite a few times! But listen, I was straight up the tunnel afterwards so I can’t give you an honest assessment of it.
I’ll have to analyse it and digest it all over the next couple of days.
I don’t know what went on. If there has been a bit of heat after the game, then I’ll deal with it if we have to discipline some players. So be it.
But during the 95 minutes, my players were exemplary with discipline. Their players weren’t.
It’s expected that the SFA Compliance Officer will take action against Kent with the offer of suspension.
