Lennon hails Celtic's triumph

Celtic manager Neil Lennon paid tribute to his side after they secured their third title in a row with a 5-1 win over Partick Thistle at Firhill on Wednesday night.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon paid tribute to his side after they secured their third title in a row with a 5-1 win over Partick Thistle at Firhill on Wednesday night.

The Parkhead club, who host Ross County on Saturday, sealed the Scottish Premiership crown with seven games to spare and Lennon said: "They finished it the way we want them to play. In the second half some of the football was breathtaking.

"This title win is better. The next one is always better. This has been the most consistent in the league, although the cups were disappointing this season.

"The league form was magnificent. To lose one game and break a clean sheet record into the bargain, it has been an exceptional season.

"It is a great moment for me but it is all about the team, I have a great network behind me with the board and backroom team and I am just the front.

"We are seeing the evolution of another team. It is not just about domestic success, we strive to be a successful Champions League side which is important.

"We have had two campaigns and we will do everything we can to have a third one. I will look to improve on the cup competitions, but in terms of the league I couldn't ask for any more from the players."
