Celtic boss, Neil Lennon has said the players have been working with a psychologist, for the last 3-4 months of this season after the club hired someone to look after the players well-being to get the best out of them on and off the field.
Speaking to Sky Sports during his press conference, Lennon confirmed that the squad have been working with someone, as he has mentioned before, to try deal with not only the pressures of being a Celtic player but also dealing with it during a global pandemic.
The Irishman also mentioned that more work still needs to be done, during what is a tough time for most, having to play in front of these empty stadiums.

We have been badly affected by not having the supporters inside Celtic Park, in what is such an important season in the club history. Neil Lennon and his side seem to be missing the backing of fans that may give that extra push in games.
As much as that may be a valid argument, at the same time, we should be well used to it by now with other clubs also having to deal with the same thing, so in a way, it cannot be used as an excuse for poor performances recently.
At the end of the day, I can imagine it will be tough for the players at times, sitting in hotel rooms by themselves, not having that social interaction so getting support in for them hopefully can help in some way or other because they are human beings.
