Over 40,000 fans inside Hampden and millions worldwide looked on as Celtic created history by becoming the first club to win back-to-back trebles.

A 2-0 win over Motherwell was much less dramatic than last season’s nerve shredder against Aberdeen but the scenes of celebration at the end will never change.

The sun was out over the south side of Glasgow as Brendan Rodgers sent his players out to create history- less than two years on from a scary night in Gibraltar.

Without question the team has been shaped in the image of their manager even though the XI on show at Hampden were, with just two exceptions, inherited from Ronny Deila.

Every player has their own persona story of how Rodgers has revived and reshaped their career with Scott Brown the perfect example.

After a season in which he looked burnt out there would have been no complaints if Rodgers had led a clear out from the skipper down.

The new manager thought differently, he saw qualities in Brown that others had overlooked with the captain-manager bond at the heart of two years of success.

A great time to be alive, and, in Brendan We Trust have been two of the catch phrases of the last two seasons- who knows what the next 24 months will bring as the Rodgers legacy grows and grows.
