Lennon hails Hoops duo
Neil Lennon praised strike duo Anthony Stokes and Gary Hooper after they combined for the second week in succession to fire Celtic to victory.
Stokes' first-half goal in the 1-0 win over Aberdeen at Parkhead on Saturday was his fourth in three games to take his Hoops tally to 12 since signing from Hibernian last summer.
He was set up in the 27th minute by Hooper, who returned from injury last week to score his 12th of the season in the 3-0 win at Easter Road, where the Irishman grabbed a double.
Celtic increased their lead over Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to five points, although they have played two games more than their Old Firm rivals who lost 1-0 at Hearts earlier in the day.
Parkhead boss Lennon, who has chopped and changed his attack all season, said: "The front two were a handful and they worked the goal very well. They are in the driving seat at the moment.
"I thought they dovetailed very well together. You can tell there is a bit of chemistry between them and they are doing what we brought them to do, they are scoring goals."
