An Easter Road crowd, just shy of 17,000 enjoyed, savoured every moment and at the same time licked their lips at yesterday’s 6-0 thumping of Premiership strugglers, Hamilton Accies.
Neil Lennon
“We changed the system today, went with a diamond and implemented it very well. I’m very excited about what I’m seeing at the minute. I’m not getting too carried away, we’re building a bit of momentum, and we’ve got big games coming up now, but we’re in a great position.
“With the players that have come in and started to hit the ground, you can see the changes are working, slowly but surely.”
???? | Neil Lennon says that today's performance was "as good as it gets" from his perspective as Hibernian defeated Hamilton 6-0 at Easter Road

As Hibs go from strength to strength, Hamilton FC players and staff wake up on Sunday morning realising they are a mere three points clear of bottom club Dundee.
