Lennon relieved after Hoops success

Neil Lennon admits sheer relief was the overriding emotion after his first game as Celtic’s interim manager ended with a 3-1 trouncing of Kilmarnock in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Parkhead.

The Irishman moved up from reserve team manager to replace Tony Mowbray who left the club following the Hoops’ 4-0 defeat at St Mirren on Wednesday night, and he could not have wished for a better start to his managerial career.
