Lennon: Away day blues are a mystery

CELTIC captain Neil Lennon remains perplexed as to why the Parkhead side failed yet again to perform away from home in the group stages of the Champions League.

The Hoops’ 3-0 capitulation at the hands of Benfica at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday kept intact their dubious record of never having won away from Celtic Park in 11 attempts at this stage of the tournament.

The margin of defeat mirrored several other heavy beatings in the past — against Porto in 2001-02 and Shakhtar Donetsk two seasons ago.
