(Reuters) - Interim boss Neil Lennon said Celtic got a huge psychological boost after Odsonne Edouard's stoppage-time goal gave them a 2-1 win at Heart of Midlothian on Wednesday in the Scottish champions' first game since Brendan Rodgers left for Leicester City.

Lennon, who also managed the Glasgow side from 2010 to 2014 and won five league titles playing for them, was given the reins until the end of the season after Rodgers' stunning decision to join Leicester on Tuesday.
