Celtic are only a few hours away from having the chance to make history. The Hoops stand on the verge of winning the domestic treble for the third season in a row. A feat that would be unprecedented in Scottish football.

All the while the player are on the verge of making history, this is uncertainty at the club. We still don’t know how will be in charge of Celtic as the club’s manager next season.

Speculation continues to mount

The speculation continues to mount as to who the boss will be, with former Nuremberg manager Michael Koller the latest to be mentioned.

That could well be distracting to the players. They will be as eager as the support to find out who will be in charge next season. However, they can’t let anything affect the charge for the ‘treble treble’.

Can’t let noise influence players

Interim boss Neil Lennon and massively experienced captain must take charge. They must make sure that none of the noise and speculation affects the dressing room.

This is the first time many of these players will be playing in a cup final that have not been managed by Brendan Rodgers.

It will be interesting to see how Neil Lennon’s methods differ from that of the former Hoops manager.

The fans will not get to see the difference in the dressing room. They will be focused on what happens on the pitch. The new manager talk can be put on hold for one day. Therefore, it is time for this Celtic team to go out and make history.
