Celtic legend Paul Lambert showed his winners mentality on Saturday by issuing a defiant message to the players ahead of a friendly match against Liverpool. The Champions League winner was in charge of the Celtic Legends team that travelled to Merseyside for the game at Anfield and Celtic TV picked up on the brilliant moment Lambo sent the players an emphatic message.
Celtic were actually unlucky to lose the game 2-0 with decisions going against Lambert’s team.
Lambert signed for Celtic in 1997, becoming an integral part of the team that stopped 10IAR. Following Jansen’s departure, the ex-Dortmund midfielder remained at the club during two tough years before becoming a mainstay in Martin O’Neill’s side that wrestled domination back from Rangers. Lambert also captained Celtic to a European Final in Seville, falling agonisingly short versus Porto.
Lambert will be hoping that the stint at the side of the pitch will spark a return to management for the seasoned boss.
