Celtic boss does not know what to expect from unpaid Hearts

Celtic manager Neil Lennon does not know what to expect from the Hearts players ahead of Saturday's Scottish Premier League clash. PFA Scotland this week urged the Scottish Football Association to intervene over the non-payment of players' salaries at the Gorgie club. Hearts' first-team squad are waiting for their delayed payments for the second successive month and when asked if it could affect their performance, Hoops boss Lennon replied: "Possibly, it's not a nice time for those players, particularly in the lead-up to Christmas. "Whatever people think, it is a living these guys undertake and they have mortgages to pay and families to look after. "It could spur them on, they could be a wounded animal in that respect, but we will approach the game as we approach every game regardless of the opposition."
