Coach: Celtic will hit back
Friday, 30 July 2010 09:37
Defiant Celtic manager Neil Lennon (pic) believes the Old Firm giants can overturn their 3-0 defeat against Sporting Braga and reach the Champions League play-off round.
The Celtic coach's European debut ended in disaster as he watched his side concede two late goals in the third qualifying round first leg to leave themselves with a mountain to climb in the Parkhead return next week.
"Some people may think the tie is over we don't," he declared. "We've got a good record at home, we've been in this position before and we'll just have to go and be at our very best next week."
With no safety net of a place in the Europa League qualifiers available to the losing side Celtic face the prospect of exiting European competition before the Scottish domestic season has even started.
