Some Celtic fans are chuffed at seeing one of the club’s latest tweets, as the club picked up their 19th League Cup title win in history on Sunday.
This was Neil Lennon’s first League Cup title in his managerial career. Previously, he has won every possible domestic title with the club bar the League Cup (TransferMarkt).
It was a Christopher Jullien header in the second-half that saw the Hoops win the game. It also saw Fraser Forster save a penalty off Alfredo Morelos, while Jeremie Frimpong was sent off in the second-half too (BBC).
Will Celtic add more silverware to their trophy cabinet this season?
Of course!
Not sure
The club posted a tweet about some celebrations from after the game and the fans are chuffed about it.
That is the greatest video I have ever seen, one I will watch over and over again in perpetuity.

The Hoops have won the League Cup title consecutively over the last four seasons, but they had not won the title even once in Lennon’s first stint as the Hoops boss. But the former Bolton and Hibernian boss had won the Scottish Cup title on two occasions, winning the Premiership crown four times in history.
In this season’s League Cup competition, the Hoops had beaten Lennon’s former club Hibs in the semi-final, ousting them by a scoreline of 5-2. Before that, they had managed to overcome Partick Thistle by a 5-0 scoreline.
In the Premiership, the Hoops are at the top of the league. And with Rangers being held to a 2-2 draw at Aberdeen last midweek, it helped Celtic increase their lead at the top to two points, as they beat Hamilton 2-1 because of a last-ditch Scott Brown winner (BBC).
What do we think?
The fact that this was the club’s fourth consecutive League Cup title makes it some achievement. Brendan Rodgers had helped them club win the competition every single time during his time and Lennon is carrying that tradition over in his tenure. It is just what the Bhoys’ fans love to see.
But Lennon has to make sure that they carry this momentum onto the Premiership, where things can still get close.
