Celtic boss Neil Lennon says he is “not even contemplating losing the game” as he looks ahead to Saturday’s Glasgow Derby at Ibrox.
Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie, who missed the reverse fixture due to Covid-19 issues, are back in the side, whilst Leigh Griffiths is almost back to full fitness and David Turnbull and Ismaila Soro have emerged as first choice midfielders. Suffice it to say that Celtic are now a very different proposition.
Lennon told Sky Sports: “You don’t want to lose it, you want to get a positive result, either three points or a point.”
“We are not even contemplating losing the game, we are going there with a positive frame of mind and we have to play, and we have to play a lot better than we did here in October.
“We have Christie, Edouard, Griffiths, Turnbull, Soro, they are all available to play so hopefully that will give us a real spark going into this game.
“We are playing well, everybody is fit, available and there is good competition for places.
“We are creating a lot of chances which we hadn’t been doing in that poor spell and we have been looking a lot more assured at the back, so the players have found their rhythm.
“I wouldn’t say I am relaxed about it, you never are going into a game like this, but we are looking forward to it.”
