Celtic midfielder Neil Lennon has vowed to continue playing for Northern Ireland despite suffering sectarian abuse from a small minority of supporters in a recent friendly.
Lennon was jeered by a small section of the crowd during the friendly against Norway at Windsor Park last week.
"Following lengthy consideration, I have decided that I wish to continue to play at international level with Northern Ireland," Lennon told the club's official website.
"The level of support I have received from all sections of the community has been overwhelming and very touching and has played a major part in my decision."
"I hope that in the future I will be given the opportunity, as a Celtic player, to also enjoy my international career.
"I would urge all Northern Ireland supporters to come and give the team their full support for our forthcoming match against the Czech Republic." -PA-
