Manager Neil Lennon was highly satisfied with an improved Celtic performance and the promise of another championship victory.

The 3-0 victory against Hibernian all but secured a second straight Scottish Premier League for Lennon's side.

"It doesn't matter when we win it, as long as we win it," Lennon told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Scotland.

"We know we only need a point now to wrap up the title and that's a great position to be in."

Kris Commons scored twice and Mikael Lustig added a third as Celtic comfortably disposed of Hibs.

"It's what I wanted, an excellent performance from start to finish," said Lennon.

"We looked far more like ourselves so I'm delighted with that.

"We could've won the game by a lot more goals. Off the back of few stodgy performances, that was far more like it.

"There was a real dominances about us and a professionalism as well. I'm pretty pleased with that."

The post-split Scottish Premier League fixtures will be announced on Monday and Celtic will take on Dundee United in the Scottish Cup semi-finals before the league campaign resumes.

"We've got a big week ahead of us with the semi-final looming so it's an exciting couple of weeks for us now," added Lennon.

"We want to get over the line and get to a cup final for a start but that's not going to be easy. Dundee United have had a good day today [clinching a top-six place] so they're going to be buoyant.

"I don't know what the fixtures will bring but we'll enjoy it when it comes and look forward to a final if we can get there.

"The players have covered themselves in a lot of glory this season and they've still got a bit more to come."
