Barry Ferguson has defended Hibernian manager Neil Lennon over his ongoing row with Rangers’ boss Pedro Caixinha.

Lennon blasted Caixinha over accusations that he was disrespectful during last Saturday’s explosive clash at Ibrox, which ended in a 3-2 win for Hibernian.

The ex-Celtic boss was at the centre of the controversy, with several complaints made to the police about his celebrations following a Hibs goal.

However, former Rangers midfielder Ferguson told the Daily Record he has no problem with Lennon’s behaviour.

“There’s nothing wrong with a wee bit of needle – the more the merrier as far as I’m concerned,” he said.
