Celtic secure an eight consecutive Scottish title with a convincing victory away to third-top Aberdeen.
Celtic secured an eighth consecutive title in style with a convincing win away to third-placed Aberdeen.
For Celtic not to have finished the weekend as champions, Aberdeen would have had to have ended the visitors' 11-game unbeaten run, combined with a win for second-placed Rangers at home to Hibernian on Sunday. Another minute's applause but most importantly, given what these men represented, another victory and another league title secured. Eight in a row was never in doubt, but it was banked here.
Celtic had the lion's share of possession, but it was the Dons who carved out the most interesting opportunities before Lustig got the Celtic party started. The first of them came when Scott Brown was hustled and harried and gave the ball away in the process. It was a calamitous miss and, sure enough, Aberdeen were made to pay for it, just as Kilmarnock were made to pay for not executing at Celtic Park last week when the game was still goalless. Looking gift horses in the mouth is not the best plan against the champions.
