Lennon eyeing up top spot

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has his sights set on top spot in the SPL, a position his side will take from Rangers if they win Wednesday evening's Old Firm clash.
The Bhoys have closed to within one point of their great rivals on the back of eight straight league victories, with the Gers having seen a 15-point lead evaporate in recent weeks.
We know we go top if we win and our focus is on winning the game.

A bullish Lennon said: "We know we go top if we win and our focus is on winning the game.
"We want to make our home advantage count and keep the winning run going. That's very important to the players.
"But Rangers are always dangerous opposition, regardless of timing. I don't think there is much between the teams.
"Our form has been slightly better, but they're the champions and they won the last one. There's not much in it."
The Bhoys are 2.00 to win the game at Parkhead and 8.50 to triumph by a 2-0 scoreline, while they are 1.04 to wrest the SPL title away from Rangers by the end of the season.
Earlier this season the Gers won 4-2 against Celtic at Ibrox, with the Bhoys ending the game with ten men following the sending-ff of Charlie Mulgrew 15 minutes from time.
