Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard smashed home a second-half double to seal a historic treble-treble on Saturday.
The Hoops defeated Hearts 2-1 in the Scottish Cup final on Saturday with Edouard’s second-half brace canceling out Ryan Edwards opener.
The win gifts Celtic their third consecutive Scottish treble with Neil Lennon finishing off the job started by Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers.

Lennon succeeded Rodgers in February and told The Scottish Herald that Edouard has been a better player than he expected when he first came back to the club.
“They (strikers) cost money. But I’ve been delighted with him (Edouard), absolutely delighted with him. He has had to do a lot. It is difficult playing up there on your own when you’ve got two big bears wanting to stop you, but he does it very, very well.
“I think he’s a better player than what I first envisaged him to be. I’ve been delighted with his contribution up until now. In the past couple of months he’s been outstanding.
“Listen, centre forward is the hard position to play; scoring goals is the hardest thing to do. There are 11 people out there trying to stop you from doing it. But he’s taken on the burden very, very well.
“In this day and age it’s decent business for the club, when you think about it. I think he’s improved as the season has gone on. He’s paid back a huge chunk of his transfer fee with really important goals this season.”
