Linesman Craven resigns as Celtic row goes on

Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan has announced the resignation of assistant referee Steven Craven as the fall-out to Celtic's controversial 2-1 Premier League win at Dundee United continues.

Regan met to discuss the events of the October 17 match with Hugh Dallas, the SFA's head of referee development, as well as the fixture's referee, Dougie McDonald, and Craven, his assistant on the day.

Following the meeting at Hampden Park, Regan said: "I can confirm that I have met with the relevant match officials and members of the referee departments regarding the events that occurred during the recent Clydesdale Bank Premier League match between Dundee United and Celtic.

"I can also confirm that Steven Craven has tendered his resignation and will no longer officiate in the professional game. I hope to conclude the investigation within the next 48 hours and will make further comment at that time.''

With the game on Tayside level at 1-1, McDonald awarded Celtic a penalty then controversially changed his mind after consulting with Craven. Despite scoring a last-gasp winner through Gary Hooper, Celtic boss Neil Lennon was furious at the referee's U-turn and the fall-out continued all last week.

Dallas made a statement applauding McDonald for arriving at the "right decision in the end'' but Craven was reportedly angry that it was not made clear that, contrary to perception, he did not instigate the discussion with McDonald.

It was reported that since the fixture, Craven has been the victim of threatening remarks with his teenage sons suffering verbal abuse. The official's resignation was anticipated.

It is believed there is growing concern among the refereeing fraternity about the increasingly stressful conditions in which they are being asked to perform, something which was exemplified ahead of the Old Firm game at Parkhead by Celtic boss Lennon appealing to Willie Collum, making his debut in the fixture, to "get the big decisions right''.

While officials will accept criticism for major mistakes, there is real concern not only about the forensic examination of decisions, but the current climate of innuendo and inference about agendas and bias which pose possible safety fears for them and their families.

Last month Dallas had to dissuade referee Brian Winter from quitting the game following his failure to send off Steven Anderson at Tannadice, despite showing the St Johnstone defender two yellow cards in the game against Dundee United.

UEFA president Michel Platini, who was at Parkhead for the Old Firm derby, expressed his sympathy for officials, while saying they had to be masochists to cope with all the criticism thrown at them.

Platini told the Scottish FA's official website: "These people are going to make mistakes and to be a referee I think you have to be a masochist.''

Celtic forward Georgios Samaras was avoided getting in hot water with the Scottish Football Association after a clash with Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor in Celtic's 3-1 defeat on Sunday.

The Greek international seemed to come into contact with the Scot in a very unnecessary fashion, which led to complaints from McGregor on more than one occasion.

The charge of violent conduct would have been the likeliest to arise, with the laws stating: "A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball."

But the SFA have decided not to push forward with any charge.

Lennon will bounce back from Old Firm defeat

Celtic boss Neil Lennon wants the Old Firm defeat by Rangers to be viewed in context as his side look to bounce back against St Johnstone in Wednesday night's Co-operative Insurance Cup quarter-final clash at McDiarmid Park.

Celtic lost their 100% record in the Premier League to their bitter rivals who went three points clear at the top of the table. Much of the fall-out from the encounter centred on the Celtic boss' criticism of referee Willie Collum for awarding Rangers a penalty in the second half of the 3-1 win for the visitors.

However, Lennon's players have also come under scrutiny, and the former Parkhead captain said: "I have thought long and hard over the weekend and hopefully the next time we play Rangers we will be better.

"I analysed the game to see where we could have done better. We made basic mistakes for the first two goals and we were punished. But it's not as if the championship was decided on Sunday.

"It is so early in the season. I maintained all along that it wouldn't have a bearing on the course of the season, the third and fourth Old Firm games are usually the make or break ones. So it's not all doom and gloom, we have only lost one SPL game this season albeit to our major rivals.

"We all feel a bit raw but the best way back is to put in the positive performance although it won't be easy at St Johnstone. It's all about the character of the players and we will be motivating them as best we can.

"We have been playing very, very well and the players will learn from that experience on Sunday and come back better players and as a better team.''

Saints boss Derek McInnes does not expect Celtic to be affected by their Old Firm defeat and insists his side will still have to perform to their very best if they are to clinch a semi-final spot.

"Celtic don't often lose two on the bounce so Neil will surely get a response from his players,'' the McInnes said. "They have proved themselves so far this season. They came up against a strong Rangers side in the second half but there wasn't much in it in the first half.

"Goals change games and when Rangers went ahead it was difficult for Celtic to get back. But they have shown under Neil that they have added a spirit to go with their talent. So I don't expect anything other than a good Celtic team.

"We need a lot of players to put in big performances and if we do that then we can win. We are desperate to do well in the cup, it is important to us for several reasons including financially. I didn't want to play either of the Old Firm but we have Celtic and we are at home so hopefully that can help us.''

Neil Lennon Rues 'Basic Mistakes' In loss To Rangers

Celtic boss Neil Lennon believes that his side made elementary errors during the recent 3-1 loss to Rangers in the Old Firm derby.

The arch-rivals met at Parkhead as Gers came from behind to seal a victory that tarnished their opponents' 100 per cent record. And in doing so, they also surged ahead to take the lead in the race to the SPL title.

Now the gaffer has called on his side to respond to the defeat by beating St Johnstone in the Scottish League Cup.

"I have thought long and hard over the weekend and hopefully the next time we play Rangers we will be better," Lennon told reporters.

"I analysed the game to see where we could have done better.

"We made basic mistakes for the first two goals and we were punished. But it's not as if the championship was decided on Sunday.

"It is so early in the season. I maintained all along that it wouldn't have a bearing on the course of the season, the third and fourth Old Firm games are usually the make or break ones.

"It's all about the character of the players and we will be motivating them as best we can.

"We have been playing very, very well and the players will learn from that experience on Sunday and come back better players and as a better team."

Gent Attacker Yassine El Ghanassy On Celtic Radar

Young attacker Yassine El Ghanassy could be on his way out of Europa League hopefuls Gent as Scottish powerhouse Celtic have shown an interest in signing the forward, if a report in Gazet van Antwerpen is to be believed.

The report suggests that Celtic are eager to add some creativity to their front line and manager Neil Lennon considers the 20-year-old El Ghanassy to be the perfect addition to the Glasgow side's squad.

El Ghanassy started his professional career with La Louviere, but joined Gent in the summer of 2008. The tricky attacker has since developed into an important first team member at the Belgian side.

The youngster's current contract with Gent runs until the summer of 2012, but the Buffaloos could decide to cash in on their star attacker if a big money offer comes in.
