Lennon thinks Celtic go into the match as favourites given their recent goalscoring form.
But, he’s happy to go into the match as underdogs, and actually thinks it may benefit his team.
“If the bookies think that Rangers are favourites then good,” said the Celtic manager. “That suits me fine,” said Lennon.
“I don't know why [Rangers are favourites], because our form has been fantastic. We're in goalscoring form and we're winning games convincingly.

“It’s not bad being the underdog with the way we're playing at the minute. I'll take that.”
The Celtic boss is expecting a fiery encounter at Ibrox on Sunday, and it’s difficult to predict what the scoreline will be.
Rangers have won the past two Old Firm derbies at home, with Celtic failing to score on both occasions.
Similarly, the Hoops have won the past two derbies at Parkhead.
