Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants Premiership title won in next four games

Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants his side to wrap up a third consecutive league title with victories in their next four games.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants to clinch the Scottish Premiership title by winning their next four games.

The Bhoys lost 2-1 to Aberdeen on Tuesday to surrender their 26-game unbeaten start to the season, but still hold a commanding 21-point lead atop the table.

Rather than thinking what might have been, Lennon wants their long run without defeat to be celebrated and is eager to move on from their setback by securing the championship as soon as possible.

"We move on," he told reporters. "Twenty-six games shows excellent consistency and in those games there were 12 or 13 clean sheets which was remarkable.

"I think the achievement should be applauded rather than taken for granted and the players can be very proud of it.

"There are 11 games to go so another four could see us win the title and we want to do that as quickly as possible. Then it will be a case of blooding some younger players as the season goes on before looking ahead to next season."

Celtic host Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Parkhead on Saturday afternoon.
