Alex Dyer has revealed Kilmarnock received an apology from Celtic after Boli Bolingoli's quarantine breach.
Bolingoli played in a 1-1 draw between Celtic and Kilmarnock on Sunday, before it emerged he had travelled to Spain earlier in the week and not followed quarantine restrictions upon his return.

Kilmarnock will still play their next game against Ross County tomorrow but as a result of the breach, Celtic and Aberdeen have had their next two matches postponed.
As reported by Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, Dyer said: “I know they didn’t know (about his trip) because I know Neil (Lennon) and I know what he’s like as a human being.
"I know some of the staff there and they are good people. It’s a mistake and we have to move on."
Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has revealed he was “livid” at Bolingoli’s trip to Spain and hinted he could have played his last game for Celtic.

Lennon said: “"We made it clear to players they weren't to leave Glasgow. Boli took a flight to Spain on Monday and kept it to himself, we were livid, appalled.
"It will be very difficult to imagine him being welcomed back into the dressing room in the future."
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!
