Neil Lennon "disappointed" with Xavi

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has admitted that he was "disappointed" with quotes attributed to Barcelona midfielder Xavi.

The Spanish playmaker reportedly branded Celtic "anti-football" following their Champions League meeting at the Nou Camp two weeks ago, but Lennon has insisted that they did not set up defensively.

"I wasn't angry with the accusations but I was disappointed. We never set out to be defensive. Barcelona force you to play that way," Lennon told reporters.

Celtic welcome Barcelona to Celtic Park on Wednesday for their Group G clash.
