(Reuters) - Celtic manager Neil Lennon hit back at pundits and government officials on Monday, accusing them of hypocrisy after his team was criticised for a trip to Dubai which led to two players testing positive for COVID-19.

Upon their return from the warm-weather training camp in Dubai, Lennon and 13 players missed two games after going into isolation following the first positive test that was recorded last week.

"It has been interesting watching the fallouts, the media and the attacks on the club," Lennon told reporters ahead of Wednesday's trip to Livingston. "We didn't abuse any 'privilege', we did the right things, we were totally professional. We had a little drink in the afternoon on the day off, completely allowed, no law breaking. Yet we come back to this barrage of absolute hypocrisy."

Lennon said Celtic were being held to a"far higher standard" compared to other clubs which had COVID-19 outbreaks.
