Lennon and co face familiar foe

Neil Lennon admits his team talk before yet another Celtic versus Aberdeen clash on Tuesday night will seem like Groundhog Day. Celtic beat the Dons 4-1 in their Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-final clash at Hampden on Saturday, only a week after a 1-0 win over Craig Brown's side in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League at Parkhead. "It is very fresh from Saturday," Lennon said. "It's sort of difficult to do team talks at times because it sounds like Groundhog Day, but it's just the way the fixtures have thrown these games up. "We have to concentrate. It's a massive game for us in terms of the league. It's a game that we dearly want to win and I'm sure Aberdeen will be the same so I think we are in for a tough game. "It's a different venue and I'm sure Aberdeen will be fired up for it after what happened to them on Saturday. But we go into the game with confidence and belief in ourselves, which is good as long as it's not misplaced."
