Celtic will appeal Albian Ajeti SFA 'dive' charge says Neil Lennon
The Swiss striker scored in the win at Rugby Park and was also awarded a penalty by referee Kevin Clancy, converted by Odsonne Edouard. Post-match analysis led to the striker being cited to a Hampden hearing on Monday – but Neil Lennon says Celtic will appeal the simulation charge.
Lennon said: "It is a penalty. He has had contact to the back of his foot, or ankle. The keeper has made contact, he has gone down, the referee has given a penalty. I don't see any simulation.

"I don't understand why these charges have been brought up against Albian, we don't agree with at all so we will be appealing it of course."
