Lennon not feeling extra pressure at Celtic
Celtic boss Neil Lennon insists he is not feeling any extra pressure despite the side sitting in a precarious position in regards to the Scottish league title.
The Hoops have fallen ten points behind Old Firm rivals Rangers in the early stages of the campaign but Lennon is remaining positive despite the fact his side copped three first-half goals to Kilmarnock on the weekend.
"I don't feel under extra pressure. You have to accept questions will be asked if you are 3-0 down at half-time against any opposition in the SPL,” he said ahead of tonight’s Europa League meeting with Rennes.
"You have to ask questions of yourself — are you doing the right things? Why is the team not performing?
"But I don't feel as if I am in any trouble as far as my job is concerned.
"If anything, the pressure comes from within myself and my own pride in the performance of my team."
