Jock Stein and Willie Maley are the only previous Celtic managers to have won three titles in a row, and they extended their glory runs to nine and six championships respectively.

But asked whether it is possible Strachan could leave the club, Reid said: "I certainly hope it isn't because one thing that is absolutely clear is that from the board down, from our major shareholder right through to the vast majority of fans, we have supported Gordon Strachan because he has delivered for this football club."

Reid told BBC Radio Five Live: "He is one of only three managers in our history to have won the league three times in a row.

"He has taken a team with very limited resources compared to big Premier League teams to the final 16 of Europe two years running - never before done in our history.

"While we have some weaknesses which we will address, we have unlimited ambition, a tremendous management team, Gordon Strachan is now supplemented by Neil Lennon and of course the late Tommy Burns.

"I think the best is yet to come for Gordon and his team and I hope he's there."
