(Reuters) - AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has denied that a handful of players failed to show up on time for Sunday's training session. "There's false news doing the rounds," he told a news conference in Glasgow on the eve of Tuesday's Champions League tie at Celtic. I'd like to know who is starting these stories." The Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper suggested that strikers Mario Balotelli and Robinho were among the five latecomers. Allegri also refuted the idea that it was a relief for Milan to play away from their San Siro stadium where they received an angry reaction from fans after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Genoa, their seventh game in all competitions without a win.
