And speaking to Sky Sports prior to the release of 'Celtic: Champions Again', the Hoops skipper admitted just how fondly he feels about winning a career ninth league title. 

"Just as special," he said, when asked to compare the latest triumph to his first at the club.

"I would say one of, if not, the most satisfying one, just the way that it's came about. 

"So, I'm really proud of the players, really proud of the staff, and the manager to get it over the line."
