Neil Lennon hails 'world-class' Celtic player

Neil Lennon has singled out keeper Fraser Forster after his sensational display kept Rangers at recess in the Scottish Cup Final. Forster made a penalty save as waged a one-man war against Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos. Celtic won the trophy after scoring their only shot on target. Lennon said: "I'm thrilled. I was disappointed with the way we played at times because that isn't the standards we set ourselves but there's a resilience about the team and I told you before the game there's a relentlessness about them. "We had to rely on Fraser to make some unbelievable saves but I thought Odsonne definitely sparked us. I thought we were missing him. It was that physical presence and quality and then when he comes on we get the goal and Mikey (Johnston) gets the chance for 2-0 and it could have been over. "We had to ride our luck, there's no question of that and they should be shaking the hands of the Rangers lads because they have made the cup final a brilliant spectacle. But we have come through it again and we are an amazing team. To have won 10 trophies in a row that's a hwll of an effort when you think of all the pitfalls that are put in front of you. "It's a brilliant day and to go down to 10 men and show the resilience that we showed...we defended so well and I thought we were better with 10 men at times than we were with 11."
