Celtic TV was unable to publish a post-match interview with Neil Lennon following the 1-0 defeat from Ross County.
Instead they turned to Sky Sports for coverage while cutting out the opening scenes of the hoops boss laughing in the aftermath of a second defeat this season from Ross County.
After any SPFL match Lennon, or someone in Celtic’s management team is contractually obliged to be interviewed by BBC Scotland, Sky Sports and a general media conference which forms the basis of most newspaper reports.
“We didn’t play badly and we didn’t deserve to lose the game.”

Normally club media gets a slot as well with incredibly soft-ball questions which will attempt to big up the most obscure issue from a damaging defeat such as ‘Good to see Leigh Griffiths come on and get some minutes’.
Either there was a technical issue with Lennon’s Celtic TV interview or the content wasn’t suitable for broadcast. There were no post-match interviews with any Celtic players after last night’s match.
