Lennon so proud as Celtic break Hearts

Celtic boss Neil Lennon says last night’s 4-0 thumping of Hearts was the best performance he witnessed in his team as Parkhead boss.

Lennon said: “Probably (the best) in my time as a manager. I thought we were devastating, powerful, quick on the counter-attack and the intensity and quality of their play was exceptional.

“It was all there tonight, the intensity, the atmosphere, I think the players relished the challenge. That is the standards we have set but I don’t expect them to play like that every week.”
