Boss Lennon praises Bhoys’ fighting spirit

NEIL LENNON praised his side’s character after Saturday’s hard-fought 2-0 win at a blustery St Mirren Park ultimately took Celtic four points clear of Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

On-loan Hoops keeper Fraser Forster showed why Lennon wants to sign him on a permanent deal from Newcastle with a string of good saves, before second-half goals from winger James Forrest and skipper Scott Brown extended the visitors’ winning run in the SPL to 12 games.

The result became more significant later in the day when Rangers could only draw 1-1 at home to Aberdeen.
