Celtic manager Neil Lennon hails his players following their emphatic 4-0 victory over Hearts.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has hailed his side's character after their thrashed Hearts 4-0 away from home in the Scottish Premier League.

The Hoops bounced back from last weekend's disappointing 1-0 defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, much to the delight of their manager.

"It was a great performance tonight, particularly in the first half when we looked clinical and played at a great tempo," the Daily Mail quotes Lennon as saying.

"I think they enjoyed playing under the lights in that atmosphere but I could tell over the last couple of days there was a real intensity about them. Obviously it was the reaction I was looking for.

"I never question their character. I know what I've got here and that's why I defend them so vigorously at times. They are young, so there are times when they let themselves down a little bit."

Lennon went on to say that Celtic will take "some stopping" if they manage to find consistency in their home form.
