Football: Celtic defeat Hearts 2-1 on Neil Lennon's return

A stoppage time goal from substitute Odsonne Edouard saw Celtic beat Hearts 2-1 in interim manager Neil Lennon's return to the 'Bhoys'' dugout. Lennon, who is back in charge of Celtic until the end of the current season after Brendan Rodgers opted to accept the Leicester City managerial role, saw James Forrest put his side ahead in the 36th minute. Hearts were reduced to ten men before half-time. Jamie Brandon was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jeremy Toljan. The 'Jambos' were back on level terms ten minutes into the second half though when substitute Oliver Bozanic converted a penalty following Kristoffer Ajer's foul on Arnaud Djoum. However, Frenchman Edouard ensured a winning return for Lennon by volleying in a cross from captain Scott Brown - Celtic winning for an eighth successive Scottish Premiership game.
