Celtic boss Neil Lennon has again defended his players following Saturday's 1-0 defeat by high-flying Hibernian. Lennon said: "We didn't need a boot up the backside. That was not a reality check.
"There was no complacency from what I could see. I would take the same intensity of performance and the desire.
"There was a real hunger to win the ball back, there was a real hunger to win the game, it just didn't drop for us.
"The players will be highly motivated for Motherwell. It is another big game for us.
"There are a lot of teams playing well and scoring goals in the SPL.
"Stuart McCall has done a brilliant job, with the squad he has got, it is underestimated sometimes, but they are very attractive to watch and they are a dangerous team."
