The Parkhead boss says the club has received unfair criticism of its decision to fly to the Middle East for warm weather training. He said: “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 of, completely allowed, no law breaking. “But we come back to this barrage of absolute hypocrisy.” Celtic players and staff flew out to Dubai following their 1-0 defeat to Rangers on January 2 and spent a week training in the United Arab Emirates.

Chief executive Peter Lawwell has since admitted the trip was “a mistake” and apologised to Hoops fans.
