Neil Lennon says he will be watching what type of penalty the SFA hands down to one of his counterparts.
The Celtic boss was handed another four-match ban for his conflict with Rangers assistant Ally McCoist back in the March 2 Scottish Cup fifth round replay at Celtic Park and he is waiting to observe what happens to Aberdeen’s Craig Brown.
Brown had a similar argument with Motherwell chairman John Boyle recently and the Hoops boss admits he is involved to see what occurs on that front.
"Yes, I just want to be treated like any other manager,” he said. “Is anything diverse from what Craig Brown did to what I did?
"All these people are telling me I've got to grow up and I want to show more maturity.
"Well, there is the oldest manager in the game - with 30, 38 years of experience - perhaps doing a lot worse than what I did.
"Yet what he did acquire laughed off and I get demonized for it.
"There is a distinction in personalities and the way you depict it in the public eye.
"I am used to it. I am not looking for sympathy. I'm just looking for justice, that's all.
“Other managers condemn referees. Am I the only manager in the world who criticizes referees?
"Sometimes it has seemed that way this time. I have been to the Scottish Football Association a pair of times and I ended up getting a suspended fine because my comments were not really that bad.
"They weren't personal, which is for sure, and no dissimilar to what other managers do."
