Ronny Deila hailed the "perfect" sendoff as Celtic manager, highlighting that the Hoops' emphatic display against Motherwell showed the future of the club.
Kieran Tierney, Ryan Christie and Jack Aitchison all scored their first goals for the Hoops as the already crowned Scottish Premiership champions put seven past the Steelmen.
Deila took the acclaim of the supporters after full-time at Parkhead with the Norwegian now leaving the club after a disappointing season.
He reflected on his two-year stint as Celtic manager and insisted that the win over Motherwell showed that the club's future is a bright one.
"It was perfect," he said. "It was like you had dreamed of.
"A very good performance, a young team out there who I think is the future of this club, it was 7-0, a sunny day as well, which is not often and a very good atmosphere as normal so it was a perfect ending for me.
"It is a very tough day. It is hard to speak about it to be honest. I am grateful to have been here.
"I learned so much in two fantastic years. I am going to enjoy the new life now.
"There are going to be new opportunities, but these two years will always be special to me but right now it is too much to take in."
