The Hoops moved on to 84 points last week with a 3-0 win at Aberdeen which clinched an eighth successive title.<\/p>\n
They have two league games remaining, at Rangers and at home to Hearts, before they play the Jambos in the William Hill Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on May 25.<\/p>\n
The champions have already beaten last season\u2019s points tally of 82 but interim boss Lennon wants more, starting with the final Glasgow derby of the season.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI don\u2019t think the players need any motivation for this game. The fixture takes care of itself. There is a lot of build-up to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were more concerned with winning the league.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was hugely important for the club and we have the big one in the trophy cabinet again and we can look forward to the remaining games and obviously we have a huge cup final to look forward to at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like us to finish on 90 points. At the minute we are on 84 and we have two games to try to get that and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to try and do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited, looking forward to it. We go into the game as champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re on great form and Rangers are as well. It\u2019s a game everyone is looking forward to, no more than myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since I was at Ibrox with Celtic so it is always a good occasion to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lennon was put in charge until the end of the season in February when Brendan Rodgers suddenly left for Leicester.<\/p>\n
He insists the Celtic players have already exorcised the ghost of the 1-0 defeat at Ibrox at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
The former Hoops captain and manager said: \u201cWe already beat Rangers on March 31 so we\u2019ve already rectified that with a really good performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe come into this one off the back of a win in the last derby.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always great to win at Ibrox as a Celtic player or Celtic manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know what to expect going there. Rangers are a formidable team at home and it will be an electric atmosphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a great game for any player involved with Celtic to look forward to. We are going to have to play well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a meaningless game by any stretch of the imagination. We have our own targets and motivations.\u201d<\/p>\n
