NEIL LENNON has admitted he wasn't surprised at all to see Scott Brown 'noise up' Ryan Kent as he was sent off against Aberdeen tonight.
The Rangers ace was shown two yellow cards by referee Kevin Clancy as the sides played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Pittodrie.
Both cautions were soft to say the least, but the second was particularly harsh.
Brown went down under the challenge of Kent near the half-way line, but replayed showed there was little to no contact between the players.
The decision meant Rangers were forced to play the last stages of the game with ten-men.
As Kent jogged off the field, Dons skipper Brown was spotted having words with the winger, laughing and then even waving in his direction.
🗣️"Scott is good at the noise up. There is a bit of history there."

Asked if he was surprised at Broony's behaviour, ex-Celtic manager Lenny said: "Not really. He'll be enjoying this, smelling a bit of blood.
"There's obviously a bit of history there. Not just with Ryan Kent, but with a lot of players. He's good at the noise up.
"He'll be loving it, revelling in it. He has done for the last 10-15 years.
"He's been a really good influence there (Aberdeen) on the younger players."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
