Neil Lennon in bullish Celtic Treble declaration as Rangers warned 'psychological lift' could deal Ibrox hammerblow

Confident Neil Lennon has promised fans that Ange Postecoglou's Treble hopes are ON after seeing off Rangers in the Viaplay Cup final.

Kyogo Furuhashi was the hero at Hampden after netting a double for the holders, and despite Alfredo Morelos' goal setting up a nervy finish at the national stadium it was the green half of Glasgow celebrating after the final whistle. With Postecoglou keeping the League Cup in the Celtic Park trophy cabinet, anticipation that a domestic clean sweep could be on the cards for Celtic this season, with the Hoops already holding a nine point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Postecoglou will look to take the Scottish Cup from Rangers, with the quarter-final clash with Hearts set to take place at Tynecastle next month. Lennon, who is the only man to win a Celtic Treble as both a player and manager, reckons the "psychological lift" after seeing off Michael Beale's men has put them on track for a bumper silverware haul.

Speaking to Football Betting, Lennon said: "Winning the cup is a one-off day. Winning it against Rangers adds a huge psychological lift to the whole club.

"This result is huge when it comes to the rest of the season. Celtic have won, there's no question they're on track to win the treble."
