Neil Lennon is confident that Celtic can overcome their recent disappointment at Hampden Park with victory over Dundee United on Sunday.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has said that he is confident that his side can defeat Dundee United in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Sunday.

The Glasgow giants have lost their last three games at the venue – 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock in the Scottish League Cup final last season, 2-1 loss to Hearts in the Scottish Cup semis and 3-2 reverse against St Mirren in the league last four this campaign.

"We have done a lot of analysing this week and looked at previous encounters, where we can do better," Sky Sports News quotes Lennon as saying.

"Hopefully that will resonate with the players going into the game on Sunday. But I wouldn't make too big an issue of it.

"We keep getting there, that's the most important thing. The next step is to replicate the form we have shown going into these games at Hampden, which we haven't done on previous occasions."

Celtic are currently 15 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premier League.
