Boss Lennon so proud as Bhoys refuse to yield

Celtic 0 Benefica 0

Only skipper Scott Brown had Champions League experience with the home side but it was a spirited and determined performance from the Scottish champions, although over the course of 90 hard-fought minutes they failed to really trouble the visitors’ goal.

The Celtic boss though, noted that key players such as Georgios Samaras, Joe Ledley, Beram Kayal and Anthony Stokes were all still making their way back from injury and Gary Hooper was unable to start the match.
