Celtic season awards: Best player, signing, goal and game, the biggest letdown and Ange Postecoglou's managerial report card

The possible recipients are plentiful when dishing out the accolades for most notable performers and moments in Celtic’s stunning cinch Premiership and Premier Sports Cup double-winning campaign.

Celtic had precious few personnel across their core, comprehensively revamped, first-team squad that did not impress as the title was reclaimed. Yet, two mainstays just nudged above their team-mates for consistent excellence and importance to their club’s sparkling season. Granite-like centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers’ recruitment on a season-loan loan deal from Tottenham Hotspur proved an inspired move. The US international brought a degree of authority and presence to the club’s backline that set him apart from all but Virgil van Dijk of those who have occupied his berth for Celtic in the past decade. However, no player at the club had a weight on their shoulders quite like Callum McGregor. The midfielder practically achieved the impossible in stepping up to the captaincy role made vacant by the departure of the iconic Scott Brown…and almost immediately becoming a heartbeat akin to his mentor. McGregor set the tone for a new-look Celtic in two-tier fashion. He took his performance levels to new heights, while at the same time bringing a host of new signings with him through his unifying, unstinting leadership. In so doing, the Scotland midfielder proved the perfect on-field conduit for manager Ange Postecoglou’s football strategy.

As with the above, you could take your pick from a team’s worth of additions with which the club’s playing squad was transformed. Carter-Vickers patently has an outstanding claim, with monumental contributions from on-loan Benfica winger Jota, Carl Starfelt, Joe Hart, Josip Juranovic, Liel Abada,
