Fortune favours Lennon's braves

MY first impression of Celtic's Champions League draw against Juventus were that this is a good tie, a glamour tie – and one they can win.

And I wouldn't have said that about every team they could have got. Malaga or Schalke would have been my first two choices, but Juve probably wouldn't have been far behind. Quite simply, over two games against Manchester United I wouldn't have fancied Celtic to go through, and likewise against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund or Paris Saint-Germain. But just maybe Juve is doable. You know what Italian teams are like. Generally, I hate watching their games because I find it too tactical, too defensive.
