Celtic appoint Lennon after clinching treble treble

Neil Lennon was offered the Celtic manager's job on a permanent basis after the Hoops completed an unprecedented third consecutive domestic treble by lifting the Scottish Cup on Saturday.

Celtic needed to come from behind to beat Hearts 2-1 thanks to Odsonne Edouard's double at Hampden to claim a ninth straight piece of silverware.

Lennon, who previously managed the club between 2010 and 2014, has been in caretaker charge since Brendan Rodgers left for Leicester in February, and the club said his contract details will be confirmed in the coming days.

"One of the best days of my life. It's hard to quantify what this team has done," said Lennon.
