Lennon, whose Dunfermline Athletic side face Celtic in this month’s Scottish Cup final, believes the “momentum” is with his former club.

The recent statistics certainly back up that view.

Since losing to Dundee United at Tannadice in March, they have won six in a row in all competitions, with the five in the league gradually eating into Hearts’ lead.

Celtic have also won all four of their home games since Hibernian placed question marks on their title credentials with a victory in February, scoring 10 times for the loss of only three in front of their own fans.

Hearts are themselves unbeaten in six, but they have had to dig deep into their powers of resilience to come from behind to avoid defeat in their latest five.

And, while they managed to win three of those, dropped points at Livingston and in Motherwell on Saturday allowed Celtic the opportunity to eat into their lead.

O’Neill’s men face a hazardous trip of their own to Fir Park on Wednesday, while Hearts host a Falkirk side with nothing to play for.

However, former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner also thinks Celtic have “got a nice momentum going” into the final two games.
