Lennon not fooled by statistics

NEIL LENNON is well aware of the statistic that has been inevitably thrown the way of Celtic managers in recent years every time that Kilmarnock visit Parkhead.

The Ayrshire side have not won in the east end of Glasgow since December, 1955 and are believed by many to be no more than a warm-up for the Hoops ahead of the crunch Old Firm game at Parkhead next Wednesday.

Lennon’s side have won seven SPL games in a row and are odds-on favourites to make it eight today (kick-off 1.30pm), but the Irishman would rather not tempt fate.
