Celtic give Lennon winning start with late strike at Hearts

REUTERS: Interim boss Neil Lennon said Celtic got a huge psychological boost after Odsonne Edouard's stoppage-time goal gave them a 2-1 win at Heart of Midlothian on Wednesday in the Scottish champions' first game since Brendan Rodgers left for Leicester City.

James Forrest opened the scoring for Celtic in the 36th minute at Tynecastle Park before Hearts' Jamie Brandon was sent off before half-time for elbowing an opponent. "I'm ecstatic. It's a great win at a difficult place under the circumstances," Lennon told reporters."We shot ourselves in the foot and what we did was give Hearts something to hold onto when we should have been in total control of the game.
