Neil Lennon keen to appeal one-match touchline ban

Hibernian manager Neil Lennon outlines his intention to appeal his one-game touchline ban having been sent to the stands during his first competitive match in charge.

Hibernian manager Neil Lennon has outlined his intention to appeal his one-match touchline ban.

Lennon was sent to the stands during his side's 1-0 defeat to Brondby in the first leg of their Europa League qualifying tie after complaining against a disallowed goal for Jason Cummings, and was subsequently hit with a one-game ban by UEFA.

It was the former Celtic manager's first competitive match in charge of Hibs, and he is hoping that he will be available to watch on from the touchline as his side bid to overturn the deficit in the second leg next week.

"I want to appeal it, because it's just a piece of nonsense. It's the first time in Europe that I've been sent to the stand so I'm really irked by that," he is quoted as saying by PA.

"There was nothing Brondby did that we didn't expect. They were physical, athletic, technical at times, they were strong but they were a week or two ahead of us in terms of preparation, so we will be a week stronger, so who knows?

"The tie is in the balance but we know we have to go there and score."

Hibs conceded the only goal of the game after just 17 seconds in the first leg.
