Neil Lennon and Jim Duffy have been charged by the Scottish Football Association following their touchline bust-up last week.

Hibernian head coach Lennon, and his Morton counterpart Duffy, clashed at Easter Road last Wednesday during their Scottish Championship match, which ended goalless.

The SFA said Lennon breached disciplinary rule 203, committing misconduct on three occasions by 'adopting an aggressive attitude' to Morton striker Kudus Oyenuga, Duffy and match officials.
