Celtic cult hero Landry Nguemo has taken to Twitter to congratulate the Scottish Premiership club on their eighth consecutive title win.

The 33-year-old had a stint at Parkhead in the 2009-10 season, joining on loan from French outfit Nancy and playing first under Tony Mowbray and then Neil Lennon.

Nguemo began brightly in the green and white hoops, putting in an especially good performance during a Champions League qualifier against Dinamo Moscow.

Nonetheless, Nguemo remembers his time at Celtic very fondly and has posted numerous messages of goodwill towards the Glasgow club, including one following their latest title triumph:
