Neil Lennon has blamed referee Bobby Madden in the wake of Celtic’s 1-0 defeat at Ibrox. A Celtic onslaught was denied by Rangers defending and a couple of fine stops from McGregor in the Rangers goal and Lennon believes that had the game continued, Celtic would have won. However, shortly after the hour mark Nir Bitton was adjudged to have denied a clear goal scoring opportunity when he dragged down Alfredo Morelos and referee Madden issued a straight red.

Lennon isn’t giving up hope on 10IAR, however, saying that Celtic need to win EVERY game until the end of the season if they are to retain their crown. Celtic are now 19 points behind Rangers, having played three games fewer. In order to win the league, Celtic would need to win every game and hope that Rangers slip up on more than one occasion. It is unlikely but not impossible.
