NEIL LENNON has secured a personal Treble by becoming the William Hill Manager of the Year.

It is the third time the Celtic boss has been voted top man by the Scottish Football Writers’ Association.

It’s after his side won the League Cup and were then awarded the SPFL Premiership title having been in a commanding 13-point lead when it was decided that the 2019/20 campaign could not be completed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Lennon’s side were particularly impressive after the winter break winning eight consecutive Premiership matches to pull well clear of rivals Rangers, who couldn’t match that form.

The Celtic manager, who also won in 2012 and 2013 in his first spell in charge at Parkhead, polled more votes than Stephen Robinson at Motherwell, Livingston’s Gary Holt and veteran Dick Campbell at Arbroath who all enjoyed terrific campaigns.

You can read his thoughts in the Sunday papers.
