The Dutchman was a raw 21-year-old full of potential when Lennon took him from FC Groningen to Celtic in 2013. The Liverpool centre-back's rise since has been startling - but he believes it would not have been possible without Lennon. "I enjoyed every bit of working under him," Van Dijk told BBC Scotland. He's a special manager and special man."
