Bhoys to appeal Cha dismissal

Celtic looking to overturn South Korean's red card

Celtic have confirmed they will appeal against Cha Du-Ri's sending off in Sunday's Old Firm defeat to Rangers. The South Korean defender was shown a straight red card by referee Calum Murray following a challenge with Lee Wallace. Gers were leading 1-0 when Cha was sent off and they eventually won 3-2 after the visitors staged a late comeback with nine men. However, the SPL leaders will not appeal against the second-half dismissal of Victor Wanyama for his two-footed tackle on Steven Whittaker. Speaking after the loss Neil Lennon commented: "The first one is not a sending off and the second is borderline probably, you can't tackle like that." Had Celtic beaten their arch-rivals at Ibrox they would have clinched the SPL title for the first time at Ibrox since 1967.
