premise: Strachan also revealed the Falkirk player involved in the incident had backed Lennon.
  "I didn't see the sending off so other people will need to fill me in but by all accounts from what I am hearing from some of the other coaches the two boys met with their heads together," said the former Aberdeen, Manchester United and Scotland midfielder.
  "But the word I'm hearing from the Falkirk dressing room is the boy Stokes says he hardly touched him and it was not a sending off. I can only take his word for it."
  Strachan himself had looked to have been raging at the referee's decision to send Lennon off but denied he was having a go at Brines.
