The Football Association has charged Sir Alex Ferguson over comments he made to the media following Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
The United boss was incensed by referee Chris Foy's decision not to award a penalty to Wayne Rooney, although it was assistant referee Simon Beck who drew most of Ferguson's ire.
Ferguson said after the match: "There was no way the linesman was going to give that - he gave them everything.
"It was a clear decision. And he was 10, maybe 12 yards away from the incident and he doesn't give it. And yet he gave everything else."
Ferguson also alluded to a previous incident involving Beck, when he allowed a Didier Drogba goal to stand despite the player appearing to be offside when United were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea in April 2010.
Ferguson submitted his observations about the case on Friday and now the FA
have decided there is sufficient evidence to call the United boss to account.
A statement on the FA website read: "The FA has charged Sir Alex Ferguson in relation to post-match media comments made following Manchester United's game at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 20 January 2013.
"It is alleged the Manchester United manager breached FA Rule E3 in that he implied that the match official was motivated by bias.
"Ferguson has until 4pm on Friday 1 February 2013 to respond to the charge."
The Scottish Cup holders gave themselves the rare chance of a back-to-back cup final victories with a semi-final penalty shoot-out win over Inverness at Easter Road on Saturday.
The Jambos will play St Mirren, who pulled off a shock 3-2 win over Celtic on Sunday, in the final at Hampden on March 17.
However, McGlynn wants his players to get ready for a side who, despite being bottom of the SPL, have already beaten the Gorgie men twice this season.
"It will have been a wee while, if anyone at all outside the Old Firm, has done back-to-back cup wins, Scottish Cup and League Cup, so it would be an achievement but that is as far as I would go with it," he said.
"We don't want to get carried away.
"Bradford are in the League Cup final in England and there were a lot of shocks at the weekend.
"Everyone had Celtic as big favourites so I am probably as surprised as everyone else but St Mirren played exceptionally well.
"But the final is March 17, a million miles away and we have so many league games to play between now and then, so the League Cup final goes on the back burner.
"Wednesday night is the priority for me, it is really important because Dundee have beaten us twice and we have had two sore lessons.
"We appreciate that Dundee will be fighting for their lives, they are a few points adrift and won't want to go further adrift.
"Their livelihoods are at stake, if they go down to the First Division, their will be wages cut probably and some players not getting new contracts, so these guys are playing for an awful lot
"But if we don't get a boost from getting through that game against Inverness and getting to a cup final then will you get a boost?"
McGlynn responded to Danny Grainger's claim that he will not be given a new contract at the end of the season when his current deal expires. The defender is out of action for up to nine months after sustaining a knee injury against Motherwell in November.
The former Raith Rovers boss said: "I have the greatest sympathy for Danny, I have said that all along from the minute he got his injury against Motherwell.
"Danny will get all the treatment he needs to get back, Hearts will look after him all the way.
"Danny is like a number of players who find themselves out of contract at the end of the season and he was wanting to know what is going to happen.
"Hearts are cutting back and also with young Kevin McHattie coming through, we wanted a little more time to see if Kevin is able to fill the potential that he has got.
"At this moment in time we are not in a position to say yes to that (giving Grainger a new contract) so I told him if he wants to find a new club he is well within his rights to do that."
The Hoops captured the Scottish Premier League title, but surprisingly lost in the final of the Scottish League Cup to Killie and in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup to eventual winners Hearts.
Shiels said that Celtic had "massively underachieved" and "threw away" two cups, while claiming Kilmarnock's success made them the only rightful candidate for team of 2012.
If Shiels was intending to rile his fellow Northern Irishman ahead of Kilmarnock's visit to Parkhead in the SPL on Wednesday, then he succeeded.
Lennon has guided his side to the last 16 of the Champions League this season - where they will play Juventus next month - and they are odds-on to retain the SPL title, although they did lose their Scottish League Cup semi-final with St Mirren on Sunday.
Told about Shiels' comments, Lennon said: "It has nothing to do with him. He shouldn't be commenting on my team and my club, I don't comment on his.
"I don't know what context he is using that in (underachieving) but what is he saying about us this season?
"They won the League Cup and defended it very poorly, which no-one seems to touch on; they got knocked out in the first round.
"You can look at it in many ways but I think we have been brilliant.
"I think we probably overachieved in 2012, for the budget we were working with, the environment that we are playing in, the pressure the players are under week-in, week-out, the analysis that goes with it and the naivety and the youth that is in our squad.
"I think they have performed magnificently and I am very proud of them. You get the odd setback but in the main they have been fantastic."
Lennon's reference to the analysis of his players led him into another verbal attack, this time on former Celtic assistant manager Murdo MacLeod, who also played for the club.
In his newspaper column yesterday MacLeod, also a radio pundit, said of Celtic's defeat to St Mirren: "Blowing one treble is careless, but blowing two is verging on criminal...That's why I feel sorry for those supporters who turned up at Hampden and forked out hard-earned cash to watch that display."
Lennon said: "A columnist yesterday made a sycophantic comment about feeling sorry for the Celtic fans and their hard-earned cash.
"Personally, I don't think he cares about supporters' hard-earned cash because he will not have to pay to get into a game anywhere.
"Basically, (it is) trying to put a wedge between the players and the supporters, throwing in these cliched lines that are regurgitated every time that we get a defeat.
"I think our fans have had good value for money this season and I hope that continues for the remainder of the season.
"The columnist also described us losing the treble as careless, as if winning the treble is as easy as shelling peas.
"It is a very difficult thing to do and, as I have been reminded constantly, there are only two managers in the history of the club who have done it before.
"Some people's expectations are that we should be decimating everyone, that is not the case either, winning games is very hard to do. But I think in my time here our win percentage is excellent."
However, Lennon did admit to concerns about psychological barriers his players may have at playing at Hampden after losing to Kilmarnock, Hearts and the Buddies in their last three appearances there.
"I actually do think there might be a psychology thing about playing at Hampden for some reason," he said. "The previous two games we played pretty well but that (against St Mirren) was the poorest we have played there for a while.
"We were in scintillating form going into the game but they can't seem to replicate that at the national stadium at times so that is something I need to address if we get there again.
"It might be the atmosphere but Hampden is not there for our approval, it is not there for us to swan in and win the game and go home again.
"We have to overcome whatever mental deficiencies we have in playing there, but there is definitely a dip in performances when they go and play there."
Meanwhile, Lennon said there has been no further interest in striker Gary Hooper after Norwich had two bids rejected, but he expects to see new signing Tom Rogic in Glasgow as soon as today.
The 20-year-old midfielder signed a four-and-a-half-year contract in moving from Central Coast Mariners for about ?400,000.
Lennon said: "I am hoping he will be back today or tomorrow. He has been away getting authorised by the British Embassy, he may be available for the weekend."
