Boss Lennon hungry for more as Celts retain title

Ireland’s Anthony Stokes headed the visitors into the lead in the third minute before 17-year-old sub Liam Henderson, on for right-back Adam Matthews, opened his Celtic account in the 49th minute with a low drive from 12 yards.

Norwegian midfielder Stefan Johansen added a third goal in the 53rd minute to confirm the superiority of Neil Lennon’s side, who responded to losing a late goal to Jags substitute Christie Elliott by scoring two more in injury-time. Stokes grabbed his second, rifling a shot into the top corner, before Kris Commons grabbed the fifth as the party began.
