Lennon ready for tough game
eil Lennon is paying no attention to reports that Udinese will arrive at Celtic without a recognised striker for Thursday's Europa League tie.[LNB] The Italian club's coach, Francesco Guidolin, whose side are joint top of Serie A, was quoted as saying that star forward Antonio di Natale was "tired" and would be given time off.[LNB]With several other players injured or ineligible, reports claim rookie Diego Fabbrini - an attacking midfielder - will lead the line, but Lennon is not getting too excited.[LNB]"If it benefits us then I'm pleased about it but we will wait and see," he said.[LNB]"Di Natale is a quality player and has been in great form for the last 18 months, two years.[LNB]"If he is not there then I am sure they have adequate cover.[LNB]"Maybe not a top-quality goalscorer (like Di Natale) but you are talking about the cream of Serie A, so they will have a very good squad.[LNB]"I don't think it is disrespect. People have brought that up but I don't think so. Their coach will do what he feels is best for their team.[LNB]"But we try not to concentrate too much on what they are doing and focus more on what we are going to do.[LNB]"We are going to be positive. We are going to take the game to them. We are the home team."
