Wilson hopes run-in gave Hoops fans hope

Mark Wilson feels Celtic have given some hope to their beleaguered supporters following their winning Scottish Premier League run-in. Celtic won all eight SPL games under interim manager Neil Lennon to finish the season six points behind champions Rangers.Their Active Nation Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Ross County overshadowed their initial winning form but their response to that upset was excellent."We had to do that and it was always the objective when Neil got the manager's job," Wilson told the Huddle Online."We had to get a wee bit of pride back, reduce the gap and try and get the fans back on our side again."When Neil came in we knuckled down, knew what we had to do and we wanted to push Rangers all the way."The Scottish Cup is a massive disappointment of course, but to get eight wins in a row is some feat. Especially after the split when you play Rangers here and Hearts and Dundee United away."
