Lennon sets new targets for unbeaten Celtic
AFP, Glasgow :
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has challenged his players to make history by smashing the club’s own record points haul in the Scottish Premiership.
The Hoops boss has watched proudly on as goalkeeper Fraser Forster first surpassed the club’s clean sheet record before setting a new Scottish shut-out record in the 2-0 win on Saturday.
The English ‘keeper has now gone 13 consecutive matches and 1,215 minutes without conceding a goal as he closes in on Edwin van der Sar’s British record.
Now Lennon has set his sights on surpassing another landmark in what could be a record-breaking league campaign.
Lennon was part of the Celtic team that racked up 103 points under Martin O’Neill in the 2000/2001 season.
However, the Parkhead boss believes his squad can top that, with his side on target to reach 108 points if they win their remaining 12 games.
“It would be quite something to get more than 100 points and more than we got under Martin in 2002,” Lennon said.
