Celtic lifted ahead of crucial AC Milan clash

Celtic boss Neil Lennon believes his team has plenty of confidence going into this week's vital Champions League meeting with AC Milan.

The Hoops take on the Rossoneri at Celtic Park on Tuesday after beating Aberdeen 3-1 in the league on Saturday and Lennon suggests his players are in a positive mood prior to the crucial meeting.

"Psychologically, today it gives us a massive lift. We won our home game against Ajax and played very well in the San Siro," he said.

"Milan will be different, they have a couple of players back so all the ingredients are there."

Celtic currently sit bottom of Group H on three points, two behind second-placed Milan, with just two fixtures remaining.
