The court was told Lennon needed his licence to fulfil charity commitments.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been banned from driving for six months after being found guilty of speeding in Perthshire.
The 42-year-old had denied driving at 83mph in a 70mph on the A9 on October 6 2012.
However, he was found guilty and was given four penalty points. He was banned under the totting-up procedure, as he already had nine points on his licence.
Lennon, from Glasgow, was caught in his Audi Q7 by a speed camera set up at the Blackford junction.
The Celtic boss’s defence lawyer told Perth Sheriff Court his client needed his licence for work and to attend charity events.
