Celtic boss Neil Lennon is going for the win against Udinese in the Europa League on Thursday.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has said that his side will be going for the win when they face Serie A leaders Udinese at Parkhead in the Europa League on Thursday.

The Hoops will be looking for their first points of the campaign after their 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid two weeks ago.

"Udinese are one of the best sides in Serie A at the minute," said Lennon.

"We have to try to take maximum points from our home games and, with a bit of luck, get something away from home," said Lennon.

"I want us to go out there, get the crowd on our side as quickly as possible and set a good tempo to the game."

The Bhoys' inclusion in this season's competition is a result of qualifiers FC Sion being thrown out of the tournament after they fielded ineligible players in their two-legged playoff against the Scottish side.
