mar 18, 2011 - It is reported that Celtic will not call for George
Peat's resignation, despite criticism of the
Scottish Football Association president in a
judgement from Lord Carloway. Peat's
attendance at a disciplinary hearing for Celtic
manager Neil Lennon was held to be "contrary
to principles of fair play" after a club appeal.
Description:
Peat's attendance at a disciplinary hearing for Celtic manager Neil Lennon was held to be "contrary to principles of fair play" after a club appeal.
Lennon was given a six-game touchline ban for excessive misconduct in the game against Hearts in November.
But Celtic sources say they will not call for Peat to stand down.
There had been suggestions that the Glasgow club would target the president once the appeal findings were published.
Celtic were unhappy that Peat, who was not part of the disciplinary committee, was in the room with the four members of the committee while they were considering what punishment to hand out to Lennon.
It had been argued by the SFA that Peat had no involvement in the decision-making process and was simply there as an observer and, at one stage, the president left the room to take part in the Scottish Cup draw.
