Daunting task will be like cup final, says Celtic boss Lennon

CELTIC manager Neil Lennon is hoping his side will thrive in the do-or-die scenario they face in tonight’s Europa League Group I game against Udinese at the Stadio Friuli (kick-off 8.05pm).

The Italian club are three points clear of Celtic but should the Parkhead men win, they would go through to the knockout stages by virtue of their head-to-head record.

Lennon said: “I’d much rather we were already through. It is a daunting proposition for any team to come here but in that respect, we know what we have to do.
