Celtic fans can now officially celebrate 9-in-a-row AGAIN.
For the second time in 50 years the hoops have been champions of Scotland for the ninth year running running with Neil Lennon’s squad joining Jock Stein’s legends of the sixties and seventies.
Celtic’s last match was a 5-0 win over St Mirren on March 7 with Scottish football suspended six days later.
Last month the board of the SPFL were given the backing of over 80% of clubs to award the four divisions based on average points per game.
Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers were confirmed as champions last month, at lunch-time word came through that Celtic are Premiership champions.

Over the last month there has been a number of heated arguments and discussions about the outcome of the Premiership title.
All of it has rather overlooked the facts- like Celtic winning 26 out of 30 matches with just 10 points dropped all season.
After losing the Glasgow derby at the end of December Celtic’s demise was widely predicted. The attitude of champions shone through as Celtic stretched a narrow two point lead turned into 13 resulting in today’s announcements.
