Celtic have offered Neil Lennon the manager's job on a permanent basis after the interim boss won the Scottish Cup.

The 2-1 win over Hearts at Hampden clinched a third successive clean sweep of domestic trophies for the Glasgow side, with Lennon in the dugout as league and Scottish Cup were delivered.

The Northern Irishman took over on an interim basis in February after Brendan Rodgers departed for Leicester City but said last week he didn't know if he would be in the job beyond the summer.

As fans and players celebrated the cup triumph, the club announced Lennon had been offered the job with the details set to be completed in the next few days.

Lennon said: "It's been my privilege to manage the club once but to do it a second time I feel like I have come full circle again.

"I left the club on good terms the last time and nothing has changed.

"It's been a roller coaster couple of months. It's been difficult but I hope I bring a lot more success at the club going forward.

"There is going to be changes in personnel but I don't want to change too much because it's been a really good transition between myself and Brendan Rodgers."

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell added: "Neil stepped up to the plate when we needed him. He's a true Celtic man who knows the club and the city.

"He's a winner with a fantastic eye for a player. I'm delighted to announce he's been offered the job."

Lennon played for the club between 2000 and 2007, winning 11 trophies and he went on to manage the club for four years from 2010.
