Celtic drew both of their matches while depleted and are 21 points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers.
"We've come back and been absolutely decimated by these rules," Lennon said.
What now for Celtic and Lennon?
"I'm not convinced they're a public health issue. [It] seems political in my opinion.
"There seems to be some sort of agenda being driven here. I am not getting into a fight with the government but I will just leave it out there."
Lennon said the club was led to believe they only had to be 2m apart on their chartered flight, but after consultation with the health authorities following the first positive test, were informed anyone sitting within two rows of seats of the positive case must isolate.
The Scottish government declined to comment.

That's Lennon on his way out then

What would the SNP have against Celtic on a personal level?
I'm trying to see Lennon's point here, but it doesn't really make a lick of sense.
