NEIL Lennon knows that his Celtic side faces a step-up in quality when they face Ferencvaros tonight at Celtic Park in a bid to progress to the next round of Champions League Qualifiers.

The Hoops saw off KR Reykjavik in the previous round with an easy 6-0 win but the competition gets tougher with each game despite some of the odds against the Hungarian champions.

The Celtic boss can be relatively happy about the number of players he has available for selection tonight and his one main concern was French hitman Edouard. Rumours surfaced a few hours before kick-off the Lennon would field a team without starting a striker up front. Those rumours have just been confirmed with the following team.

This line up might leave a lot of fans wondering why the manager has chosen not to start with a striker upfront when he has two available but you’ve got to accept that the manager knows best based on what he sees in every training session.

Neil Lennon said last weekend that new signing Ajeti was still finding match fitness/sharpness but most fans would have liked to have seen Klimala get the nod.
