Police Scotland launches a probe into the conduct of Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon after about 30 Rangers fans lodged complaints about his goal celebration at Ibrox on Saturday.(Daily Record)

Morton boss Jim Duffy, who had not seen Lennon's celebrations, says the Hibs head coach would need to be "made of stone" to fail to react to the abuse "he'll have been getting at Ibrox". Duffy says the criticism directed at managers on the touchlines is getting worse. (Sun)

Alex Smith, chairman of Scotland's managers' union, claims Lennon should not be coming under fire for his conduct. The former Aberdeen manager says: "People need to get a grip because this is what football's about - enjoying scoring goals. It's a ridiculous situation when people are looking for the least wee thing to have a grievance about."(Sun)

Hibernian's Steven Whittaker challenges the notion that Lennon set out to stir things up at Ibrox on Saturday. "He wanted us to keep our cool," says the defender. (Scotsman)

St Johnstone striker Steven MacLean believes Michael O'Halloran has returned to Perth from Rangers an improved player. He says: "I think his touch has got better. He has maybe learned a bit from his time at Ibrox as well. He has gone and worked hard on his game when things haven't been going well for him." (Sun)
