Celtic manager Neil Lennon comes down heavy on his players for their "unacceptable" performance against St Johnstone on Saturday.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has criticised his players for their performance against St Johnstone in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday.

The defending Scottish champions went down 2-1 at McDiarmid Park despite taking the lead through Kris Commons in the third minute.

"I am very disappointed," Lennon is quoted as saying by Sky Sports. "It was a poor performance from us.

"After getting off to a good start we let the game drift away from us. It was a needless performance, it was unacceptable.

"We could have been beaten by anybody today. We had so many stray passes, we played like strangers at times."

Celtic are currently fifth in the league table with eight points from five matches.
