Pundit Chris Sutton was quick to condemn the player, saying he should be fined for this indiscretion. Manager Neil Lennon, when asked about it after the game, said it was something he would have to "deal with".

Sutton said: "What I question is the players commitment. There's a player in the stands on his mobile phone. That is totally, totally unacceptable.

"That is scandalous. Is he committed to the cause? Is he committed to the club? That is totally unacceptable.

"I would fine him two weeks wages for that."
