Neil Lennon today insisted there are no internal problems at Celtic and believes his players will recapture the form that so them earn many plaudits last season. Lennon responded to a raft of gossip and rumours suggesting there had been a bust-up between himself and winger Kris Commons.  A defiant Lennon insisted, "There has never been a problem between myself and Chris. There is no dressing room unrest. I have a great relationship with them.

The Gaffer also defended his players after suffering a severe dip in form in the past few months and insists things will come good soon. He said: "It's a short-term problem but I need to rectify it very quickly and get them playing to their potential. The players are not far away from hitting the ground running. I know we can win games on a consistent basis because we've done it before."
