New Hibernian boss Neil Lennon says promotion to the top flight is his main priority for next season. The former Celtic manager signed a two-year contract at Easter Road on Wednesday as the Scottish Cup winners found a replacement for Alan Stubbs, who joined Rotherham on June 2.Stubbs departed Hibs having delivered the Scottish Cup to Leith for the first time in 114 years with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Rangers in the first final between two lower-league clubs. And now Lennon, who spent 18 months in charge of financially-troubled Bolton, is relishing the opportunity to continue Hibs revival, starting with the qualifying campaign for next seasons Europa League.Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, he said: Im very excited and I think its a fantastic club, one of the biggest in Scotland, and off the back of winning the Scottish Cup there is a real feel-good factor around the club.There is a good squad of players here and my challenge now is to get Hibs up into the Premiership. Its going to be difficult but not beyond us, Im very excited about it. Anthony Stokes runs to celebrate with Scottish Cup match-winner David Gray Ive always had admiration for the club, obviously from the affinity with my playing days and managing days with Celtic. I know the club very well. Ive had a look at the facilities, I know the stadium, and the training ground is as good as it gets, and its a club that Ive always had a soft spot for.But I know its a major job Ive got on my hands off the back of following what Alan Stubbs has done, and Id like to continue in that same vein.I think the potential here at the club is huge. Its a big-city club as well which is another attraction. Its got a big fan-base and we have to make them competitive and hard to beat. Lennon has set promotion to the Scottish Premiership as Hibs top target next season Lennon insists he has no problem with critics reviewing his time at Bolton, where he kept the club in the Championship against the odds in his first season.The Irishman believes the experience has been as beneficial as winning three successive Premiership titles with Celtic and guiding the Hoops to the last 16 of the Champions League.You are going to get judged anyway, but I think most people know the circumstances at Bolton were almost impossible to work in with the financial trouble that they found themselves in, he added. Alan Stubbs lifts the Scottish Cup at Hampden after Hibernian beat Rangers They did have relative success in the first season, the second season was difficult because we had virtually no money to spend, we had to cut the wage bill by 50 per cent, but we did have success in bringing through academy recruits who are assets to the club now that they never had before.It was a real experience. You learn from good experiences, you learn from bad experiences, and its certainly made me a better all-round manager now. Again, people can judge what they like on the Bolton scenario, the future now is with Hibs and I hope to prove a lot of people wrong.Lennon now has the task of building on the momentum at his new club after the historic Scottish Cup victory at Hampden Park on May 21. Lennon with the Scottish Premiership trophy he won three times at Celtic He insists that success played no part in his decision to replace Stubbs, but he is relishing the challenges ahead with Dundee United, Dunfermline and Falkirk all hoping to secure that automatic promotion spot next season.It had no real relevance on taking the job. For the supporters it was monumental, the first time in 114 years, and believe me theyve been taking a lot of stick for not winning the cup for a long, long time, he said.Great for the players, great for Alan, it was a great achievement, but the remit is to get promotion, to get out of the Championship, and back where we feel Hibs can thrive, and that is in the top division.

The Detroit Tigers slugger fell short in his bid to become the first player to win the Triple Crown in successive seasons. But Cabrera clinched his third batting title in a row, finishing with a .348 average after sitting out Sundays regular-season finale at Miami -- a no-hitter by the Marlins Henderson Alvarez. Now Cabreras headed for the playoffs with the AL Central champion Tigers. And he denied any disappointment about not winning another Triple Crown. "I still had a good season," he said. "I have the same numbers I had last year, and we won the division." Actually, his statistics are better than they were in 2012, when he was the AL MVP. His batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage are all higher than a year ago. Last year he batted .330 with 44 homers and 139 RBIs. This year he had 44 home runs and 137 RBIs. In 2012 Cabrera became the first player to win the Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. He failed to repeat for two reasons: injuries and Chris Davis. A number of nagging injuries over the past couple months limited Cabrera to 148 games this season, down from 161 last year. That prevented him from keeping up with Davis, who had 53 homers and 138 RBIs for the Baltimore Orioles. Cabrera easily won the batting title. His average was a career high, as was his slugging percentage of .636. &quoot;Its great," he said.dddddddddddd "Last year was hard. I think this year I was more consistent. I kept my average up. Its nice." Cabrera is the first player to win three consecutive AL batting titles since Wade Boggs won four in a row in 1985-88. He had two hits in each of his two games against Miami and appears to be fully healthy again. "Im really happy with where Cabrera is right now," manager Jim Leyland said. "He looks really good." Cabrera has hit .324 or higher each of the past five years, hiking his career average to .321. He has 365 home runs, hitting more than 25 each of the past 10 years. "Hes the best hitter in baseball," Leyland said. "Theres no question about it. Just stop the conversation. He gets no infield hits, because hes not able to leg anything out. But he hits the ball over the fence to all fields and drives in big runs, and he hits .350." The Tigers final regular-season series was a homecoming for Cabrera, who played in Miami for the first time since the Marlins dealt him in a 2007 trade that ranks with baseballs most lopsided in recent years. He received a warm ovation each time he batted during the weekend. Coincidentally, the Marlins personnel boss who traded Cabrera -- Larry Beinfest -- was fired Friday. Cabrera laughed when told Marlins fans are still unhappy about the trade. "Detroit was happy," Cabrera said.
