Seems as though the smelly ones have succeeded in their quest to have Lennon's ban reduced from 8 games to 4 games.
Regardless of what you think of Lennon, this is just another chapter that proves what a bunch of amateurs the SFA really are.

Really makes my blood boil.
Listen to this quote from BBC:
And Celtic say they are "pleased that the SFA has recognised that Celtic's position is absolutely correct".
Who do they think they are???

Doesn't matter who they think they are --they're right.

The SFA rules are a shambles and any decent lawyer (and Celtic have a bloody good one) will pick them apart with ease.

Now all this challenging by Celtic and Paul McBride QC (a nasty piece of work) is entirely against the spirit of football regulation. Of course this particular rule will be changed, but it shouldn't have to be---JUST BEHAVE LENNON(and all the smart-a***s at Celtic Park).

Just a point of clarification the ban has not been reduced its just that both ban periods can run concurrently.....................
Unfortunately :cgwa:cgwa:cgwa

No need to change anything, when dealing with serial offenders like Lennon don't consider a new offence until the ban he is currently serving is finished.
I also understand the detestable little scrot got sent to the stand during a charity match in Spain. The SFA should ask for a report on the game from the Spanish FA.

4 Match ban is laughable.
correct me if I'm wrong but Derek Adams had to serve 12 matches. for what exactly? must have been shocking whatever it was if that little scrote Lennon gets a 4 match reduction to his suspension after all the bust-ups he's involved in.
without question the most hated man in Scottish football, he got sent to the stand in a FRIENDLY ffs..
SFA... you couldn't make it up!

Personally I couldn't care less when Lennon returns to the dug-out - the way I see it, the sooner he returns the sooner he'll be sent to the stand again and get another ban.

The whole episode is a complete farce. This decision more or less means Lennons disgraceful performance at the Old Firm cup tie has gone unpunished.
No wonder Scottish Football is a laughing stock.

The point still stands though that this ruling is shockingly worded and if clubs take adavntage of it then that is the fault of the SFA for allowing it to happen, assumption has no place when it comes to the law. I notice a few posters have tried to defend the SFA regarding this rule but i would say having a rule regarding bans that doesn't adequately state whether bans should be served concurrently or consecutively is a pretty laughable mistake to make given the increased use of legal representation by football clubs, including Hibs, when it comes to challenging disciplinary decisions.

Nae shock there then, give it a couple of months and there'll be an SFA levy on the rest of us to compensate the unwashed for hurt feelings...........

The whole reason that this has arisen is because the SFA took so long to ban him for the Hearts offence.The way disciplinary cases are dragged out is abysmal.Everything-including appeals should be dealt with before the next game.

I might be wrong but I'm sure I remember something from Mowbrays time where he got a 6 game ban and Hibs challenged it and it got reduced.
Lennons behaviour has been terrible this year, I think they need to forget a 4 match touchline ban and hand out stadium bans for managers much more of a punishment.
But then I geuss Celtics lawyers would overturn this anyway. What a joke the league is

Celtic exercising their right to slither out of a justifiable punishment like a slimey snake instead of taking it like a man.
They really are the lowest of the low, IMO.
