Delighted Lawwell shuns comparisons

CELTIC chief executive Peter Lawwell insists comparing the current Hoops team with great sides of the past is futile.

Gordon Strachan’s men beat Manchester United on Tuesday to progress to the Champions League knockout stages for the first time.

After midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura scored the only goal of the game with a 25-yard free-kick, the win over the Old Trafford side drew immediate parallels with the Celtic team which beat Leeds in both legs of the European Cup semi-final in 1970.
