Celtic are due to face Barcelona at the Nou Camp later this evening.
Neil Lennon has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 13th September, that Celtic can upset Barcelona later this evening.
Celtic are set to take on Barcelona in the Champions League at the Nou Camp later this evening.
The task is a daunting one, but Lennon has experience of beating Barca during his time in charge at Parkhead.
And the current Hibernian boss insists that Celtic can cause an upset again, if they get some luck later today.
“Yes, it can be done again,” Lennon said, when asked whether Celtic could upset the odds again.
“Celtic are on the up again. They are buoyed by a big win in the Old Firm. The players will be in a good place, but this is a different animal. Going to the Nou Camp is as formidable as it gets. They’ll need a lot of luck and th goalkeeper to play well.
“What Celtic need to do is get the first goal and hold on to something for as long as they can.”
When Celtic beat Barcelona under Neil Lennon’s stewardship, they did have the advantage of being at home, so if they were able to win tonight it would arguably be an even greater upset.
The Bhoys go into the match with momentum on their side, though, after beating Rangers 5-1 in their latest outing.
Barcelona have also looked vulnerable in the early part of the season – and lost their last home match to Alaves in La Liga.
