Brendan Rodgers he had actually never been better at Celtic after leading the group to a 4th consecutive title.

"I said 150, 200 per cent I'll be here for sure next season because we desire to build again, we wish to grow.
"But what I'll likewise say, there's very, extremely few individuals that understand me and there's even less understand me.
"I don't have an agent, so I do not have an agent spinning a story for me or anything like that. So if there's a headline out there, I am telling you, it's a guess.
"But absolutely, I am so, so delighted.
"I came back because of the expert challenge of Celtic, understanding the pressures. My psychological accessory to the club plainly has me here rather than somewhere else. And just the chance to be the finest manager at Celtic that I can potentially be. And days like this make it truly special."
Rodgers included: "I said minimum I would be here 3 years.
"The huge thing with Celtic, it has to do with having the energy. That's the big thing, and there's lots of other things obviously. As any supervisor, you require to feel desired, you need to feel appreciated. You require to feel that you can establish a team, you can establish a club.
"So there's great deals of things that come into it, but I definitely know that we wish to complete better than we did last year. And after that I'll go into next year incredibly hungry to beat this year, whatever we end up doing."
Celtic faced some early pressure before Ryan Strain's 30th-minute own objective started a flurry of objectives either side of half-time with Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah both striking doubles to seal the title.

"The medical guys are looking at whether his meniscus is a little bit aching," Rodgers stated. "We'll just have to assess that. They put it in the brace to safeguard it, but we'll see in the next number of days."
Dundee United supervisor Jim Goodwin regreted the turning point.
"It sounds bizarre to sit here and state for the opening half an hour I thought we were excellent, the shape of the group was great and we were aggressive with the press, forced Celtic into playing a lot longer than they would typically have actually liked," he said.
"But the very first objective was a real start the teeth provided it's a little bit of bad luck.
"The 2nd one comes from a promising attack that we had, a tame effort on objective, but then within 5 or 6 seconds, with the pace of Celtic on the counter attack, the ball winds up in the back of your internet."
