Eleven months ago Celtic went to Tynecastle looking to put two hands on the SPFL title.
It had been a long and often grim season but the opportunity to ‘clinch’ the title on hostile territory was a consolation for the lucky fans able to get a ticket and entry to Tynecastle.
Ronny Deila had already announced that he was stepping down with no one backing Brendan Rodgers to come in and transform the club.
Last season’s 3-1 win meant that Aberdeen could only match Celtic’s points tally, with a goal difference advantage of more than 20.
Colin Kazim-Richards opened the scoring in front of the Hearts support in the 17th minute but the home side equalised just before the hour mark.
Pouring forward towards the visiting support Celtic the hoops turned on the style with Patrick Roberts scoring in the 66th minute before Tynecastle specialist Leigh Griffiths sealed the win five minutes from the final whistle.
After the match the players celebrated their title success in front of 1,200 Celtic fans, tomorrow Brendan Rodgers can join the greats to have delivered the title but perhaps not in the same manner as Efe Ambrose or Logan Bailly.
