Celtic boss Neil Lennon is confident his job is safe.

Thursday night's crucial Europa League triumph over Rennes has boosted Celts going into the showdown with Stuart McCall's side.

And Lennon - with the full support of majority shareholder Dermot Desmond - is desperate to build on it.

Lennon said: "My job is NOT on the line here. I don't know why this has all of a sudden become a major issue.

"We can't afford to drop points. But as far as I am aware my job is not dependent on the result on Sunday.

"It has never been mentioned."
