(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.
