Lennon faces Thursday hearing but further punishment may be pending

CELTIC and Neil Lennon will have to wait to discover the full extent of the fall-out from the William Hill Scottish Cup defeat by Hearts on Sunday.

The Celtic manager, who has three disciplinary cases pending, two of which will be heard by the Scottish Football Association's judiciary panel on Thursday, faces further action in the wake of the 2-1 loss. Lennon confronted Euan Norris, the referee, after the match and then posted comments on Twitter. He was angry after Norris awarded Hearts a penalty when Marius Zaliukas' shot hit the arm of Joe Ledley before brushing the hand of Victor Wanyama, and was further enraged when the official refused Celtic a penalty in injury time when the ball struck Andy Webster.
