“We didn’t get off to the best of starts, but I thought after that, for about 30-35 minutes, we were a match and we played some really good football. I’m so disappointed we didn’t get a goal because I thought our play deserved one,” the Celtic manager Neil Lennon told Gerry McCulloch for Celtic TV.
“But that’s as stiff an examination as you’re going to get, so in terms of a working exercise on the physical side of the game, the mental side and the concentration side of it, that’s as good as it gets. I’m really pleased with a lot of aspects of the game,” Lenny continued.
“The players have only really had one full game going into this one, so I think they’ll benefit from it. It’s a been a terrific quality of teams that we’ve played over the last four or five days and I think that’ll stand us in good stead going forward.”
