Celtic missed Forrest fire, admits Lennon

NEIL LENNON admits his Celtic side missed the sparkle of James Forrest against Dundee United at Parkhead on Saturday despite returning to the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with a 2-1 win.

The Scotland winger has arguably been Celtic’s best player this season but was sidelined after being unable to shrug off a virus.

First-half goals by Southampton target Gary Hooper and midfielder Victor Wanyama gave the home side a comfortable interval lead.
