neil Lennon wants strong characters to add to his squad.   Neil Lennon was never shy of showing his fighting spirit during his playing career and he wants his players to generate the same feeling every time they play for the club. . The squad come together in July for pre-season training and Lennon will want them to have their game face on from the off. Lennon wants to build a team that will show the same characteristics as the famous sides which have worn the green and white hoops in the past. The club has always been know for their never say die attitude, the ability press the game on the opposition and an appetite to scrap for every ball when the going gets tough. The Irishman said "All those things will be inbuilt in them before the season starts.  Winning football games is the hardest thing in football to do. I have got to prepare them as best we can and we've got to win as many games as possible to put in a really strong challenge to Rangers and wrest that title away from them."Although still planning to find new faces to augment the squad, Lennon was pleased to see how the players reacted to his style of play. He said: "We are looking to strengthen in a lot of areas as we do need improvement. We need more men in the team – that is the sort of mentality I am looking for."
