Tough draw bittersweet for Lennon

Celtic will again face Barcelona in the Champions League after being drawn in a daunting group that also includes AC Milan and Ajax.

They were not alone among the British sides in being handed a difficult assignment, with Arsenal thrown into Group F alongside last season’s runners-up Borussia Dortmund, Rafael Benitez’s Napoli and Marseille.

Manchester City will play reigning champions Bayern Munich as well as CSKA Moscow and Viktoria Plzen in Group D.
