Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week.
Tottenham suffered a 7-2 loss at the hands of Bayern at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Champions League Group B on Tuesday evening.
It was one of the worst performances from the North London outfit under manager Mauricio Pochettino, and it raised eyebrows in the footballing community.
Celtic boss Lennon has suggested that it did not come as a surprise to him to see Spurs suffer such a heavy defeat, and he has also suggested that the result underlines the need to show the Hoops more respect than they get.
Lennon told The Daily Record: “Does a result like that surprise you? Of course. But it can happen. When you are coming up against that type of quality and they get their dander up, sometimes mentally it can deflate you and it looked like that happened to Spurs.
“They were also punished by ruthless finishing. It just shows you that it can happen to the best of teams. It’s more from England that they look down on the Scottish game.
“But we have produced and are producing good teams and good individuals who have gone on to do great things in the Premier League.”
Back in action
Celtic will return to action on Thursday evening when they take on CFR Cluj at Celtic Park in Europa League Group E.
The Hoops will be determined to pick up all three points from the encounter and will want to avenge their defeat to Cluj in the Champions League qualifiers in the summer.
