LISTEN: Lennon: Falkirk lucky to have Houston
James Keating’s spectacular strike in injury time put one Hibs hand on the SPFL Championship trophy, and they can strengthen their grip with a win over Morton this week.
But Lennon, while delighted by his side’s win, took time to praise Peter Houston’s work at Westfield – and praised Falkirk’s input to a committed 90 minutes from both the first and second placed sides in the league.

Lennon admitted it could be a pivotal moment in a pivotal match in the league championship chase, and Peter Houston was frustrated by the outcome, but conceded Hibs “are in a very strong position”.
The Bairns boss added: “We’ve seen it before, and we’ll see it again.
“We deserved something from the game and that’s two weeks in a row we’ve lost and I don’t think we’ve deserved to lose both.

“They went up the park and got the break, but you can’t mask the fact it’s a quality finish.
“Nothing is guaranteed in this madc world of football but they are not in a very, very strong position – Hibs can only lose it now.
