Neil Lennon wants "mature" Celtic performance

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has urged his players to give a "mature" performance in Wednesday's Champions League opener against AC Milan at the San Siro.

The Scottish champions, who reached the last 16 of last season's competition, have been given a tough draw in Group H alongside Milan, Barcelona and Ajax.

"I would love us to win, but, more importantly, I want to see a performance," Lennon told the Glasgow Evening Times. "And I don't want us to be gallant losers either.

"I want us to go to the San Siro, play strongly, and play with the maturity we are starting to show."

Celtic head into the match on the back of a 3-1 win at Hearts in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
