Points the priority for Lennon

Neil Lennon insists that winning games is his number one priority as Parkhead manager. However, that does not mean that he is not trying to provide entertainments along the way. With the international break out of the way, league action returns to Scotland and Celtic head to Tannadice to take on Dundee United. Celtic head to Tayside aiming to maintain their position at the top of the league with a 100% record. With a crucial Old Firm derby looming in a couple of weeks, Lennon is determined to see Celtic continue to gather three points each time they take the field. But he believes he also has the players at his disposal who are capable of more than merely grinding out results.

He said: "I want my team, firstly, to go out and win the game. Every game we play is a must-win game for us. The bonus of that is that we play in a certain style. I think we have brought players in here who can play an attacking style of football and we have players who are decent defensively too. We are building as we go along and are looking for the right ingredients all the time - to put a team out that the fans enjoy watching and which is a winning team into the bargain."

Those players not on international duty headed to Dublin to take on Bohemians, a game they won 4-1 at the weekend. And Lennon also made the most of some extra free time to pick up some pointers from the best footballing nation in the world. He added: "I miss the games, but it does give me the opportunity to go and watch other teams. I was fortunate enough to get taken to the Scotland-Spain game and it was a pleasure to be there and a terrific advert for football. It was a pleasure to watch Spain play and Scotland played very well too."
