Neil Lennon hails Fraser Forster

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has heaped praise upon goalkeeper Fraser Forster following his side's 2-0 victory over Dundee.

The former Newcastle stopper helped the Hoops record a fourth consecutive clean sheet when he denied Colin Nish from close range early in the second half.

"We had two real bits of quality to win the game," said Lennon. "I had to rely on my goalkeeper to make a fantastic save.

"We have seen that time and time again - it was another wonderful point-blank save.

"Thankfully he was able to keep a clean sheet and we went on to win with a superb individual goal again from [Gary] Hooper."

Celtic, who have a game in hand on their nearest rivals, are seven points clear at the top of the SPL table.
