Lennon pleased with spirited Celtic fightback

Celtic boss Neil Lennon was encouraged with his side's fightback against Lyon as they prepare to try and keep their UEFA Champions League hopes alive. Having trailed their French opponents 2-0 into the last 10 minutes, the Scottish giants managed to grab a 2-2 draw through Gary Hooper and Georgios Samaras in the opening match of the Emirates Cup on Saturday afternoon.

"I said the other night that I don't think the tie is dead," Lennon told Sky Sports 3.

"But we need to be at our very best and you saw a glimpse of that today."
