Watching Celtic training ahead of a vital SPFL match gives the visiting coaches a real insight into the sharp end of the business with Lennon looking to take his side five points clear at the top of the table.
Ryan Christie was spotted in the training pictures with strikers Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths appearing to take a full part.
Jonny Hayes is the only Irishman in Celtic’s first team squad but the Development side can call on Lee O’Connor, Luca Connell, Jonathan Afolabi, Barry Coffey and Armstrong Oko Flex.
With Damien Duff and Darren O’Dea on the coaching staff there is plenty of Irish voices around Lennoxtown with a few more in the air this morning.
