NEIL LENNON has hit out at Tony Cascarino after the former Celtic striker felt compelled to try and diminish Celtic’s accomplishments over the past 18 months.

The former hopeless frontman spoke of Celtic’s unbeaten run and claimed it wasn’t worth anything.

“To justify this great run they’ve been on – well, who have they actually beaten? Beating Ross County and St Johnstone when the team’s miles ahead, it means nothing”. spluttered the ‘Irishman’.

Hibs boss and for Celtic gaffer, Neil Lennon has launched a scathing attack on Cascarino insisting Scottish football is thriving and questioned Cascarino’s credentials to comment on the subject.

“It is disrespectful. How much Scottish football does Tony [Cascarino] watch?” he hit back.

“To go 63 games at any level is remarkable. Celtic are an excellent side and they proved that with a few games in the Champions League.

“I’ve seen some absolute rubbish in England. Rubbish,” slammed Lennon. “Over the weekend, there were three or four 1-0s. I watch some games in the Championship and the football is eye-bleeding, whereas I have seen some really good games up here.

“If there could be an injection of money, you would see a huge difference in the Scottish game but it is doing best and it is improving.”
