Celtic skipper Neil Lennon is convinced an Old Firm showdown is just what is needed to get their pulses racing.

The champions lacked the spark to take the points against Hibernian with the destination of the trophy assured. But Lennon has promised the arrival of Rangers to Parkhead will pump up the players and fans again.

"It will be something for the lads to get their teeth into," he said. "We've missed a competitive edge in the last few games but with Rangers here on Sunday followed by Hearts at Tynecastle, it's two massive games and we can have an enormous say in who could finish second this season."
