Lennon does not accept Ajeti's two-match ban

After Ajeti received a two-match ban being accused of deceiving the referee, Lennon expressed his discontent.

After

Albian Ajeti

was accused of having made the referee make a wrong decision to award

Celtic

a Penalty in the match against

Kilmarnock

, the Switzerland international received a two-match ban.

However, Celtic will appeal it as

Neil Lennon

said:

"It is a penalty. He has had contact to the back of the foot or ankle.

"Simulation is where there is no contact. There is obvious contact, you can see that quite clearly.

He expressed his strong dissent against this ban. He added:

"It was a massive surprise when you consider some of the other things that have been going on this season.

"I don't see how it can be deemed (simulation), when you are running at that pace and the goalkeeper is giving the referee a decision to make and the referee has made the right decision.

"He (Ajeti) said he got the contact and he went down and got a penalty. That's where he is with it and that's where we are with it as well, from what we have seen from the footage."

Celtic FC stands in second place of the Scottish Premiership table with 52 points gained so far.

Lennon also talked about his general satisfaction with the win against Kilmarnock and said:

"It was a far better performance in terms of presence on the pitch, body language, work rate, all those things I didn't get at the weekend.

"I was very pleased obviously with a comprehensive win away from home and we look to take that attitude and demeanour into the game tomorrow."
