Celtic boss Lennon 'disgusted' by team news leak ahead of Rangers defeat

The manager believes fitness issues played a key role in his side's home loss, but someone leaking the starting XI did not help

Celtic manager Neil Lennon was disgusted to find out that someone from within the club had leaked the team's starting XI for Saturday's Old Firm derby against Rangers.

The reigning Scottish champions suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to their city rivals and now sit four points behind them, though the Bhoys have a game in hand.

Celtic's team for the clash was published online prematurely and Lennon fears his job will be made even more difficult if they cannot maintain privacy within the club as they look to seal a 10th consecutive league title.
