The Hoops finished second to Rangers in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League by just one point and also lost to the Ibrox men in the final of the Co-operative Insurance Cup, but finished the season by winning the Scottish Cup.

Former Celtic skipper Lennon is looking to improve on that next season.

"I know that myself, the board, my management team and all my players will be doing all we can to ensure that our fans have a team they can be proud of," he told the club's official website.

"We want to provide our fans with entertaining, attacking and professional football but ultimately we aim to deliver silverware.

"Work begins now on striving to bring domestic trophies to Celtic Park and on having some success in Europe.

"We have already begun looking at the squad for next season.

"Whoever comes into the squad I know they will be joining some very talented players here who share my appetite for success.

"The players have connected with our fans, they know what Celtic means to so many people and I know they will be looking to me to deliver success for them this coming season."

The Irishman, who took over from Tony Mowbray on an interim basis in March 2010 before signing a six-month rolling contract, was rewarded for an encouraging first season in charge with an extended deal which reportedly more than doubled his wages.

Lennon was "absolutely delighted" with his new deal, saying: "I have had 10 great years connected to Celtic and I hope to enjoy many more.

"Clearly this is down to me and I will be doing everything I possibly can to ensure we bring our fans more success.

"I have been speaking to Peter (Lawwell, chief executive) over the past few weeks and we are both delighted to move forward together.

"We have sat down, looked at last season and now we look ahead.

"I know that Peter and the board's vision for the club is the same as mine.

"We are absolutely together on this, we want to bring success to the club and reward the commitment which our supporters continue to make."

Lawwell insists Lennon will get every backing from the board in his bid to take the title back from Ibrox.

He said: "We have had very positive discussions with Neil in recent weeks.

"We all know the direction we are going in, we are already planning for next season and our supporters can rest assured that Neil will receive every support from the board as we aim to build on last season.

"We look ahead to the future with confidence."
