Celtic had the opportunity to clinch the Scottish Premier League today with an away trip to Hibernian. However, they will have to wait at least a day as Neil Lennon's side battled to a deserved 2-1 victory.
Lennon is approaching his third year with the 'Hibees' and in the midst of a strong run for second spot. Today he watched his side overrun Celtic's centre and drive to a deserved 2-0 lead before a late Odsonne Edouard goal clawed one back for Celtic.
Speaking after the game, Lennon said he did not want his former side to win the trophy today.
Celtic will eventually win the league but we didn't want it to be on our patch.

It is not all that disappointing for Celtic, who now potentially have the chance to win the league next week when they face Rangers in the Old Firm derby.
