Celtic manager Neil Lennon hits out at noon start against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League showdown I am all for internationals and all for friendlies. My beef is with the scheduling of this game. If it had been three o'clock or on Sunday, it might have bought us a bit more time to get the players back and have ample time for them to recover. As it is, it is impossible for some of them to do that with the amount of travelling they have had. Again, it is also difficult for our supporters to get up there for 12 o'clock. The most important people in football at the minute, the players and fans, they are going to suffer the most. But I don't do the scheduling and we have to get on with it the best we can. Celtic are looking for their 15th straight win after six clean sheets during February helped Lennon to his award. "It means a helluva lot but it is just down to the players who have performed magnificently and the consistency has been fantastic," he said. It is a great achievement to go through the month without conceding a goal so we have moved in the right direction again. We don't want them to take their foot off the pedal. We have a huge month which will define the season. Aberdeen are going very well. It is going to be very difficult as it always is at Pittodrie. Lennon would be well aware, though, that most of the media attention is not focused on his side's fine form, but over at the other side of the city where Old Firm rivals Rangers remain on a financial life-support machine. Lennon was asked if, on a point of principle, he would work for free. "I have bills to pay and kids to feed," he said. Would I do it? It would depend on the period of time that I would have to do it for and if I could get by then I would, yes. But I hope I never have to come in to that scenario. I am not aware that has been put to Ally but he obviously finds himself in a difficult place at the minute. I don't like the idea of administrators coming in and running football clubs, but needs must I suppose the way things have been handled, and it should be a lesson to us all that even the biggest of clubs can suffer these financial penalties. Aberdeen defender Rory McArdle faces an obvious but far from simple task - stopping visiting strike duo Anthony Stokes and Gary Hooper. McArdle knows the key to ending Celtic's streak is halting Stokes and Hooper, who have 18 and 20 goals respectively this season. "If you keep those two quiet you have got a good chance of getting something out of the game," he said. We know it's going to be hard, it's not down to individuals. We'll have to work as a team to try to frustrate Celtic and make it as hard as possible for them. McArdle appreciates Celtic have numerous dangers but hopes if the defence can repel the visitors, the Dons can exploit any gaps in attack.The 24 year-old added: "Celtic will be coming here to win. The game will be a little bit open for us, but we know we will have to defend as well as we have done all season, if not a little bit better, with the attacking options they've got. If we can keep that tight there's no reason why we can't cause them a few problems.
