Neil Lennon and Chris Davies seemed to get into it at full time after a pulsating match which ended 4-2 to the double treble champions.
Former Celtic boss Neil Lennon and his assistant manager Gary Parker got into it with Davies after Celtic’s fourth goal, and at full time there were no handshakes between them.
Neil Lennon went into his post-match interview absolutely livid, claiming Celtic had twelve men on their side with the referee and Celtic defender Filip Benkovic should have been sent off in the dying embers of the game.
Neil was then questioned about the touchline grievance and was very salty towards the journalist asking the question.
The Lurgan man wears his heart on his sleeve, but there’s no excuse for the sort of things he was hitting out with in the aftermath of his side’s defeat. It was very poor to see from the former Celtic captain.
Celtic won fair and square on the day, and nobody should begrudge Rodgers side of the victory after the tremendous attacking play that was on display throughout the match.
Celtic fans have been speculating on what happened on the touchline to provoke such an emotional response from the Hibs boss.
Anybody notice Lennon at the end with Davies ?

What happened with Lennon and Chris Davies? Something was said and no hand shakes? Also Gary Parker kept his eye on the Celtic dug out for a few minutes at one point.

Lennon lost the plot. He was pissed off about Chris Davies celebrating in front of him I think and let it get to him. Hibs got away with some shockers in the first half. Ref was probably a 6-7/10 – few things he should have pulled players up on but nothing major.

The press guy was right tho Lennon was involved in it Rodgers wasn't! Lennon keep makeing remarks towards the Celtic bench so the question is valid

As a former Lennonist I’m increasingly angered by Lennon’s attacks on Celtic. The absurd idea that the referee was Celtic’s “12th man” is just the latest ill judged attack on Celtic a team who were vastly superior to Hibs on the day and could easily have won by 5 or 6. Lennon needs to get a grip, man up zip it up and shut up if this sort of drivel is the best he can come up with. If he wants respect he needs to remember it’s a two way street, to get it, you need to be able to give.
Lenny done a lot for Celtic !! Leave him alone! Hibs will improve this season! Celts have to do well in Europe ! We don’t want Brexit!!
