Neil Lennon believes that Hibs have got off to the perfect start in the Championship following Saturday’s 4-0 win over Morton at Easter Road.
That emphatic win made in four wins out of four for the Edinburgh side although Raith Rovers and Queen of the South are both tucked in just two points behind.
Retaining Jason Cummings, so far, has marked down Hibs’ ambitions for the season with four different players on target against Jim Duffy’s side.
Looking at his side’s performance Lennon said: “You always want more, but we were playing a decent side and our application was good, we defended set plays very well and scored goals. The sum of all parts was very good.
“I had no complaints, no ?criticisms at all today. We had another fantastic crowd, it was a beautiful day. I think that’s as good as it gets really.”
The former Celtic boss added: ?“Anything can happen over the course of the season. Queen of the South won again and are building a bit of momentum as well. We want to keep winning and hopefully teams take points off each other. We’ll see where we are after ten games, then after 20. All it is is a good start, a very good start.”
It seems certain that Lennon’s hopes of signing Liam Henderson on loan won’t proceed although Celtic are aware of interest from Leith.
Loan Celt’s Jamie Lindsay and Aidan Nesbitt were in the Morton side.
