MISSING out on this particular Treble won’t take the shine off the season or the glisten off the silverware for Brendan Rodgers.

But the Celtic boss really should have been toasting a personal clean sweep of gongs over the weekend after leading his side to a sixth winners’ medal on the spin.

The various end of season awards that are handed out all come with one fairly large caveat in that they are not really the end of season awards.

When the voting forms are filled in, the engraver gets to work and the pictures are taken, there are still games to be played and gongs to be handed out.

Last month, Jack Ross was recognised for his fine campaign in charge of St Mirren as he collected the PFA Scotland Manger of the Year award.

And last Sunday it was Kilmarnock’s Steve Clarke that took centre stage at the Scottish Football Writers Association dinner as he picked up the prize for top boss.

Rodgers did at least get his hands on a memento when he was named Ladbrokes Premiership Manager of the Year. What is it the say about the bookies always being right?

Ross and Clarke have undoubtedly deserved the plaudits in recent months, weeks and days but now that the dust has settled on the season, there is surely no doubt that Rodgers has been the boss of all the bosses once again this term.

The way that Ross has gone about his business in Paisley has been hugely impressive and St Mirren were deserved and emphatic champions as, just a year after fearing about a drop into League One, they clinched their return to the Premiership.

The Buddies fans have taken Ross to their hearts, and now they will hope that the love-affair isn’t a short-lived one as St Mirren battle to retain the services of the man that has transformed their fortunes.

That fight is one that Kilmarnock could well find themselves in sooner rather than later as well after a remarkable turnaround from relegation contenders to top six competitors.

Clarke words may not grab the headlines but his actions speak the loudest and his superb efforts at Rugby Park won’t have gone unnoticed south of the border.

When the cull of managers inevitably comes just a couple of months into the campaign, Clarke’s name will surely be on several lists.

It would be a shame if he, and Ross, were lured away from the clubs that have benefited so much from their efforts and their insights and if Kilmarnock and St Mirren were denied the chance to build on the foundations that both have laid this term.

At Parkhead, supporters will harbour the same fears deep down, but there appears to be little substance to their worry right now.

Whether Celtic get the chance to win ten-in-a-row, or whether Rodgers is around for the next three years or not, shouldn’t concern the fans right at present.

Instead, they should be living for the moment, revelling in the here and now that has seen history made and the record books rewritten.

Invincible last term, Celtic were far from unbeatable this time out. When it mattered most, they knew how to win, though, and it is that ability to emerge victorious almost on demand that has become the hallmark of Rodgers’ side.

The Treble may not have been won with the same style or dominance as it was first time around, but that doesn’t diminish the achievement.

There have been great teams on both sides of the Old Firm divide that have come up just short in the pursuit of a clean sweep, so the feat of doing it in successive campaigns cannot be underestimated.

The challenge and competition has been far from credible at times but that isn’t Celtic’s fault or concern. They can only beat what is in front of them, and they have done time and time again.

There are question marks over Rodgers when it comes to European competition and it is in that arena where he will be most harshly judged next time out.

In Scotland, he has shown himself to be the manager of the year once again, however. He has the medals to prove it as well.
