We are so far handling the pressure says Celtic boss Lennon

Each game Celtic plays at the moment is laced with pressure as they strive to keep up with title rivals Rangers.

Manager Neil Lennon says that so far his players have handled all the pressure that has been heaped on them by the media and is confident that the can come out the other side with the Premiership in the bag.

Tonight the meet Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the chance to go two points clear at the top of the Scottish Premier League table and Lennon says once again that his Hoops are relaxed.

"They have handled it so far. Everyone keeps talking about it except for us," he said.

"We just want them to go and play and express themselves the way they have done for the majority of the season.

"Everyone outside of football says it's about holding your nerve. It is to a certain extent but it's just about having the ability to express yourselves under pressure.

"These guys have been under pressure all season and as the finishing line gets closer, obviously the games get a bit more tense but we'll keep that tenseness away from them, that's our job.

"It's important we keep them fresh and in a good frame of mind but they are doing that with their performances."
