Lennon fumes at Celtic loss

Celtic manager Neil Lennon was left fuming after seeing his side lose out 2-1 to Motherwell at Fir Park.

"If you leave the likes of Hooper and Joe Ledley out, it seems to me we look a little short at times" - Neil Lennon
The Hoops made five changes for the game, including leaving top scorer Gary Hooper on the bench, but were defeated by a goal in each half from Chris Humphrey and Michael Higdon.

Striker Georgios Samaras had earlier equalised for the visitors with his tenth goal of the season on his return to action.

"People keep coming to me wanting to play games, people keep saying I should use the squad," Lennon told BBC Scotland. "But then if you leave the likes of Hooper and Joe Ledley out, it seems to me we look a little short at times.

"At 1-1, I was thinking we'll go and win this now. We were comfortable, we were in control. Another basic error has cost us," he added while referring to the winning goal. "I thought James Forrest was magnificent for the whole game. Victor Wanyama and Thomas Rogne had decent games but the rest fell short of the standard required."
