Celtic manager Neil Lennon has warned
that the club are not certain to qualify
for the UEFA Champions League group
stages.
The Scottish champions secured a 5-0
aggregate victory over Cliftonville on
Tuesday, as goals from Efe Ambrose and
Georgios Samaras made it 2-0 on the
night at Celtic Park.
That win sets up a third qualifying round showdown with Swedish outfit Elfsborg.
Celtic reached the last 16 of the 2012-13 competition but Lennon knows that it will
be a challenge to repeat the feat.
"It's a fantastic competition and one which went well for us last year but there's no
guarantees we'll qualify this year," he said.
"We'll have to start really stepping things up in the next week to be ready for
Elfsborg.
"We know how important it is, but I can't base my whole season on qualifying for the
Champions League, I have to look beyond that as well."
