Neil Lennon has given a real insight into the Cypriot Cup Final drama that ended with him seeing red as he branded the referee in charge a 'clown'.
The Celtic hero made the move abroad for his first taste of management outside the UK with Omonia Nicosia and after just a few months at the helm he landed domestic cup success to add to his already successful CV. But it was a drama filled clash that went all the way before his side defeated Ethnikos Achnas on spot-kicks.
His side were reduced to ten men after just TWO minutes and following 90 minutes of action and an additional 30 in extra-time, the referee from Italy put up FIVE added minutes on top and that was the moment Lennon seen red. An altercation ended with the Celtic legend picking up a yellow card before he sarcastically clapped at the referee and was issued his marching orders. Lennon was held back by his backroom team as tensions boiled over.
