Lenny homing in on title
NEIL LENNON put a home fixture on his wishlist for the Hoops' next game the moment the SPL post-split fixtures are announced tomorrow.
Neil Lennon put a home fixture on his wishlist for the Hoops' next game the moment the SPL post-split fixtures are announced tomorrow.
The Celtic manager would love to tie up the title officially - they are unofficially champions following yesterday's 3-0 victory over Hibs - at Parkhead in front of the massed ranks of their fans.
A double from Kris Commons with Mikael Lustig also on the scoresheet sealed the win.
"We'll see what the fixtures bring," said Lennon. "We need a point and it would be nice to get that at home with a full house.
"There's no big disappointment about not winning it today. It doesn't matter really when we do as long as we do."
Celtic certainly couldn't be any closer with a 15-point lead over Motherwell with just five matches remaining and a 35-goal advantage into the bargain.
The Championship is done, just not dusted.
But Lenny is prepared to wait a bit longer before the champagne is officially uncorked after a performance he described as "terrific" against the hapless Hibees.
"It was important to get back to the form we're capable of and we did that so I was very pleased," he went on.
"We played some really good football and were far more like ourselves which is what I wanted to see.
"We could probably have won by more goals but I'm happy with that and now we have a big couple of weeks coming up with the Scottish Cup semi-final and the league."
