Lennon revels in Celtic's 'best' title triumph after coronavirus ends Scottish Premiership season

Neil Lennon hailed Celtic's ninth successive title triumph as "the best" after they were confirmed as Scottish champions once again on Monday.

The Hoops equalled the record for the most title wins in a row after the Premiership season was brought to an end by the Scottish Professional Football League following consultation with the 12 top-flight clubs.

The final standings were calculated on a points-per-game basis, with Celtic having been 13 points clear of Glasgow rivals Rangers when fixtures were halted in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lennon, who was also in charge for the first three championship wins and returned to the club in February last year, declared this success the pick of the bunch.
