Watch Neil Lennon's Celtic press conference in full as he makes honest admission on outside noise

Celtic manager Neil Lennon insists his side are under-rated as he hailed the commitment of his squad.

The Hoops qualified for the last 32 of the Europa League with two games to spare and have already secured the Betfred Cup this season.

They face St Mirren on Boxing Day before taking on Rangers on Sunday but Lennon feels the achievements of his side haven't been given proper credit.

He said: "I'm not really listening to the outside noise, just looking to improve.

"I think the team can get better, I think there's more to come from them.

"They're still young, a lot of them. Your (Kris) Ajers, your (Jeremie) Frimpongs, your Mikey Johnstons. They're all teens or early 20s.

"Allied to that we've got some really talented players on top of that who are consistently underrated by some.

"What we've done in Europe this season has been spectacular and what we've done domestically has been almost perfect."

As well as hailing the talent of his players, Lennon also paid tribute to the commitment of the Celtic squad.

He added: "We're, what, 10 wins in a row? That's very, very good.

"I know people look for weaknesses and people look for negatives and as a manager you're always on guard for that sort of thing, but they way they're playing at the minute and their mindset, at this stage of the season with a heavy December, they're giving me everything."
