Celtic still have the opportunity to claim a domestic treble on the pitch but they missed out on one off it, after Brendan Rodgers was pipped to Manager of the Year by St Mirren boss Jack Ross.

Former Buddies player Ross has guided his club back to the top-flight after they were relegated from the Scottish Premiership at the end of the 2014/15 season.
