Celtic secured a historic Treble Treble as they continued to make Scottish football history this season. The campaign came with plenty of question marks and road blocks, but it's another incredible achievement from Neil Lennon's squad.
The season started off with Brendan Rodgers as manager and several big players not being replaced. Stuart Armstrong and Moussa Dembele had departed, and arrivals such as Daniel Arzani, Youssouf Mulumu, and Filip Benkovic failing to inject excitement.
The biggest criticism of Celtic this season was their style of football. No longer were they playing slick, silky stuff. Away from home in particular, they struggled massively before the winter break. Celtic had won just eight of 20 away games in all competitions. Combined with the fact a mass injury plague seemed to sweep the squad, it looked a dodgy time for the club, especially when Rangers beat them 1-0 at Ibrox in the final game before the break to close the gap to three points.
A fresh injection of quality in the forms of Timothy Weah, Oliver Burke, and Jeremy Toljan saw Celtic's performance levels improve. Brendan Rodgers' men went on a run of nine consecutive domestic wins having conceded just one goal. Valencia knocked them out of the Europa League, but their domestic goals were of primary focus.
A shock departure from Rodgers had Neil Lennon attempt to steer the ship in the right direction. Despite performances waning under the Northern Irishman, he still had enough character in his squad to win nine of his 13 games in charge to seal the treble.
James Forrest was the standout candidate for Player of the Year, as he swooped all three official awards at the end of the season.
Lennon has also been offered the job as the club's new permanent manager, after only being recruited on an interim basis. The hard work over the summer starts now for a Celtic side who need fresh quality once again.
