Neil Lennon delighted by Leigh Griffiths display

Celtic boss Neil Lennon praises Leigh Griffiths for his hat-trick during the team's 5-0 thrashing of Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has praised the performance of Leigh Griffiths during the team's 5-0 thrashing of Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Griffiths, who joined the club from Wolverhampton Wanderers in January, scored a hat-trick on Saturday as the Hoops continued their charge towards the Scottish Premiership title.

The 23-year-old now has four goals in his first five games for Celtic.

"I am delighted for him and he could have had a lot more over the course of the game," Lennon is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"His first goal pleased me the most. We have been crying out for a penalty-box striker and that was a great ball and a great finish.

"His work-rate has always been good and his goal record is great. I think there's more to come from him in terms of his link-up play as well."

Celtic are back in action on March 14 when they travel to Kilmarnock in the league.
