Football – Celtic clinched a 13th Scottish Premiership title in 14 seasons after yesterday’s 5-0 victory at Dundee United gave Brendan Rodgers’s side an unassailable lead with four games to spare.
Celtic’s victory moved them up to 84 points from 34 games with second-placed Rangers unable to catch them.
It was Rodgers’ 11th trophy with Celtic, who have now drawn level with Rangers on 55 league titles each.
Celtic are also on course for another domestic treble: they won the League Cup earlier this season in a penalty shootout thriller over Rangers and face Aberdeen in next month’s Scottish Cup final.
Celtic took the lead at the half-hour mark when Arne Engels’s corner was turned in by Dundee’s Ryan Strain for an own goal.
Eight minutes later, Nicolas Kuehn doubled their lead when he got on the end of Daizen Maeda’s cross at the far post.
The duo combined for a third just before halftime but this time it was a cutback from the Japanese forward that was put away by Kuehn as the celebrations got underway in the away end.
Adam Idah scored less than two minutes after the restart when he headed home Alistair Johnston’s cross from close range.
The Irishman then grabbed a second to make it 5-0 after a neat passing move by Celtic, slipping his shot past the keeper despite being bundled over by Dundee defender Emmanuel Adegboyega.
