Lennon: Players can handle pressure

04 May 2011 08:30
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has told his players to continue expressing themselves in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title run-in. Lennon appeared frustrated over questions about whether their remaining four games, which start at Inverness, will hinge on his players' ability to handle the pressure. Celtic will go top of the table if they avoid defeat and victory will keep the destiny of the title entirely in their hands as they catch up on Rangers' tally of 35 games. Lennon said: "They have handled it so far. Everyone keeps talking about it except for us. "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."
