Neil Lennon insists there was nothing wrong with his celebratio­ns at Ibrox – despite angering Gers boss Pedro Caixinha.

“If I pick my nose here somebodys will find somethingt to criticise me for. I wasw celebratin­g a goal so that’st the end of it.

“Was I unhappy that theirt coach spoke to the police?p Yes. He should have Baptista
