Celtic’s title win was celebrated long into the weekend after Brendan Rodgers sealed his third title as the manager and the club’s third in a row.
We discussed yesterday the incredible scenes in Glasgow city centre as the Celtic fans partied long into Saturday and into the small hours of Sunday morning.
The fans and everyone at Celtic were overjoyed to win this title after a closely run race by Rangers quickly petered out after the 3-3 draw in the Ibrox Glasgow Deby.
For this summer the title win means the Celtic fans have the bragging rites this summer and Champions League football to look forward to.
However, the Rangers fans are still ruing their big chance to win Scotland’s top prize and missing out on the millions of UEFA pounds which will soon be heading up The Celtic Way.
Jack Butland’s Celtic ‘tonne of bricks’
And as the Celtic players still sit on cloud nine, Jack Butland has shared how he really feels after watching Celtic lift the title this weekend.
Butland said [Daily Record], “There’s been some incredible moments but ultimately we’ve fallen short of our main goal which was to win the league. So yeah, there’s been some down moments over the last couple of weeks.
“You know, when you’ve put so much effort into that ambition and then for it to be gone, yeah, it hits you like a tonne of bricks I suppose. But I’ve loved this last 12 months. I’ve loved the challenge, I’ve loved the experience.
“It’s been enjoyable and I know it’s had its disappointments. We haven’t achieved what we wanted to achieve but I’ve really enjoyed myself.”
For Celtic the title win means a summer of positivity regardless of what happens in the Scottish Cup this coming weekend.
The transfer window always brings excitement to the fans and now that Brendan Rodgers is likely to have a bigger transfer budget to strengthen the squad, a better calibre of player could be donning the green and white hoops after the summer break.
It all points to an exciting summer for the Celtic support whilst our rivals on the other side of the city will need to figure out how to stop the Parkhead club without the financial resources they currently have at their disposal.
