Ljungberg's Celtic debut will make him better for the run

The debut of Celtic recruit Freddie Ljungberg will only do the player good according to manager Neil Lennon.

The Swede played just over 60 minutes in the fourth round Scottish Cup win over Berwick Rangers and although he didn't have a huge influence, Lennon was happy with him getting a sold run in.

"It was difficult for him to have an impact on the game because it was quite congested in there," Lennon said.

"But the 60 minutes will have done him the world of good and the longer he trains and plays, there will be more opportunities for him to show what he can do."
