Celtic boss Neil Lennon admitted the UEFA Champions League win over Barcelona was one of the proudest nights of his career.

Lennon believes the win gives them a real opportunity of reaching the knockout stages with Celtic in second place behind Barca and three points clear of Benfica. "It gives us a great chance," added Lennon. "Benfica beat Spartak [Moscow] so they are still on our tails so we got to go to Benfica and try raise our game again and we will cross that bridge when we come to it and we will enjoy the evening and the moment." Lennon admitted the atmosphere at Parkhead was one of the best he has ever experienced during his time at the club. "These are special nights here and when I took the job on I said I wanted to bring the thunder back and I have never seen the atmosphere as good as that," concluded Lennon.
