Celtic: Neil Lennon unhappy after flare thrown at Fir Park

Celtic manager Neil Lennon was unhappy after a flare was thrown onto the pitch during their 5-0 win at Motherwell, where several seats were also damaged.

Scottish FA president Campbell Ogilvie this week vowed to tackle the problem of flares at football grounds.
That followed incidents at Scottish Cup ties between Falkirk and Rangers and Albion Rovers and Motherwell.

"It is unnecessary," Lennon told BBC Scotland. "I don't see what they bring to the game."

A flare landed close to Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster at Fir Park

Last month, Lennon criticised a section of Celtic's support who displayed banners with political slogans at a Champions League match, after which European governing body Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings against the Glasgow club.
On Friday, he was concerned a green smoke bomb landed in the Celtic penalty area close to goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
"It's at our end with our goalkeeper there and it's always a worry that by accident someone could get hit or something could get damaged by it," added Lennon after his side's victory at Fir Park.
"I don't see what the turn-on is with it - it does nothing for me. I just don't see what they add to the atmosphere of the game."
Motherwell have yet to comment on the damage done to seats in a section of the stadium populated by visiting supporters.
