After beating Partick Thistle 5-1 to clinch the SPFL title Celtic’s players celebrated in traditional style in the Firhill dressing room.
The commemorative t-shirts were out as was the champagne with any kind of camera a target for Neil Lennon’s players.
There was a distinctive east coast feel to the post match celebrations with Scott Brown and Leigh Griffiths at the heart of the action with Liam Henderson looking on from the fringes ahead of his 18th birthday.
Anthony Stokes had set the mood for the party with a great third minute header then put the icing on the cake with a devastating fourth goal not long after the home side had found the net.
It was appropriate that Kris Commons scored the final goal of the night, restoring some balance after new bhoys Stefan Johansen and Henderson had netted shortly after half time.
The Celtic support will get the opportunity to appreciate the efforts of the players tomorrow when they take a lap of honour following the match against Ross County.
With 27 wins and three draws from 31 matches the hoops will be keen to maintain that form with 100 points an obvious target to aim for.
The most fiercely contested battle of the season is likely to be for the various Player of the Year Awards which could easily be split up among the Celtic squad.
Leading scorer Commons is likely to be favourite for most awards with a purple patch during December and January powering the title bid out of reach for the other ‘challengers’.
New signing Virgil van Dijk has barely put a foot wrong while behind him Fraser Forster set a new league record for minutes played without conceding a goal.
Emilio Izaguirre has returned to the form he showed in his debut season while Brown has had his most consistent season at Celtic, staying injury free and providing the inspiration- and daftness- that seems to bring out the best in his team-mates.
