Relaxed Neil Lennon has laughed off Dan Petrescu's comments that Celtic can WIN the Europa League .
The Hoops have already qualified for the next stage while Cluj need a draw to be sure to finish ahead of Lazio.
Petrescu was liberal in his praise for both Lennon's men and fellow Group E competitors Lazio, who need to beat Rennes and hope Celtic can win in Romania to qualify.
He said:“ Celtic can go all the way. They can win the competition.
“I would say the same about Lazio , if they qualify.
“They are both good enough to go all the way. They are Champions League teams in my opinion.”
Lennon took it all in good humour, answering deadpan before bursting into laughter as he assessed the notion more fully.
He said: "That's a very nice compliment. We have to play a lot of football before we can do that.
"What we are delighted about id having topped the group and we look forward to the Europa League in the second half of the season and make inroads.
"It's a nice compliment but coming from Dan but he's not getting away with that so easily!"
