Supporters of Celtic have flocked to a social media post which was shared on Twitter by the Hoops regarding their former manager Wim Jansen.
On Wednesday, the Rotterdam-born coach turned 74 and to mark the occasion, the Parkhead outfit posted to social media.
The club shared an image of Jansen from his time with the Hoops and commented alongside the image: ‘Happy birthday to former Celtic FC manager, Wim Jansen!’ (per Celtic).
The Dutchman was manager of Celtic for just one season during the 1997/98 term (per Transfermarkt).
Lots of Celtic fans flocked to the social media post from the club to air their thoughts.
So, what did these Celtic fans have to say about the club’s Twitter post on Wim Jansen?

During his one season in charge of the club, Jansen led the Bhoys to their first Scottish top-flight title in 10 years and also won the Scottish League Cup (per BBC).
Famously, the title which the Hoops claimed that year prevented their Old Firm rivals from completing a run of ten consecutive top-flight titles.
Stopped their 10
& gave us the King of Kings
I’ll forgive him for 1970

Following the Dutchman’s departure from Celtic Park, he has never been in another managerial role, having only gone on to have assistant manager and coordinator positions.
Would you class Wim Jansen as a Celtic legend?
Yes, he stopped 10IAR
No, he's not a legend
Forever in his debt ??????.
