"Neil apologised to the board regarding the events after the game on Wednesday night and the board have accepted that.
"As soon as Ally and Neil saw each other after the game there was a handshake and an apology from both.
"It was fantastic and they didn't just stay in there for two minutes after the game, the Rangers management were in there for a good 25, 30 minutes."
"From our point of view that's finished and I know Walter (Smith) has said that as well.
"I am saying now that Neil has apologised now so that makes it public."
Asked why Lennon had not appeared for the press conference, Thompson replied: "Neil had a lot on his plate in the last couple of days and he thought it was right to stand out the way for a day or two.
"He has had 24-hour surveillance outside his house two days in a row protecting him and his family and he thought it was right to step out of the way.
"I spend a lot of time with him at work and away from work and I know how difficult it is for his family in Scotland and in Ireland.
"I think it is important that he gets the protection and backing that we give him."
