Celtic manager Neil Lennon insists his players will be fully focused on their League Cup semi-final against Falkirk, despite stating the league title remains their priority.
Neil Lennon wants another league title this year.Celtic will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their 2010 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Ross County against the First Division side. They are 6.50 to win 3-0 at Hampden while a 2-2 draw is available at 29.00. A 1-0 victory for Falkirk can be backed at 29.00.
"The title is the priority," said the Hoops boss.
"If we finish with the title and nothing else then that's a good season for me."
Lennon's side are on course for the domestic treble, sitting four points clear of Rangers at the top of the SPL table, and take on Inverness in the Scottish Cup next week. And while Lennon is placing priority on the league, he says his team go into every game wanting to win.
