No Celtic title hangover ahead of Scottish Cup semi says Lennon

Neil Lennon is confident his Celtic team will not suffer from a Scottish Premier League title hangover when they contest the Scottish Cup semi-final this weekend.

The Hoops clinched the premiership last Sunday by beating Kilmarnock 6-0 at Rugby Park with the players earning a few days off as reward but Lennon insists they will all be in fine fettle when they meet Heart of Midlothian at Hampden on Sunday.

"It has been fabulous," said Lennon.

"We gave the boys a couple of days off and then we were back into training on Wednesday.

"They were in great form and great spirits as you can imagine and psychologically, winning the title will give them a huge lift.

"We have a big game on Sunday obviously, we are back preparing for that as best we can."
