Neil Lennon describes his Celtic side as "devastating" after their win at Hearts.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has said that his side were "devastating" on the pitch against Hearts last night.

Scott Brown began the scoring for the visitors with just two minutes gone en route to an eventual 4-0 win and a performance that the Celtic boss described as the best he's seen in his time at the club.

"I thought we were devastating, powerful, quick on the counter-attack," he said. "The intensity and quality of the play was exceptional.

"I feel for Hearts a bit because they lost some big players before the game but they caught us on a good night.

"It was all there. The intensity, the atmosphere, the pace of the game, a good pitch to play on, I think the players relished the challenge."

Celtic now hold a four-point lead over second-placed Rangers in the Scottish Premier League.
