Neil Lennon hails Celtic focus

Celtic boss Neil Lennon is delighted with his side's concentration as they beat Hibernian 5-0 to move 17 points clear at the top of the SPL.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon was happy with his side's focus as they thrashed Hibernian 5-0 at Easter Road.

A brace from Anthony Stokes has helped the Hoops open up a 17-point gap over rivals Rangers at the top of the SPL table.

However, Lennon was pleased with the professionalism his team showed after a week in which The Gers entered administration.

"I'm lost for words with this team at the moment," Lennon told Sky Sports News. "They're doing everything right. Their application is superb, their talent, their approach to the game is magnificent.

"Hibs started the game pretty well but once we got a foot in the game it was as good as we've played.

"With everything else that's going on it could have been a major distraction, but we've shown today we've still got the bit right between our teeth."

Celtic next host Dunfermline in the league on Wednesday night.
