No one could have quite predicted the welcome party waiting at Celtic Park for the return of the champions from Dundee.
Around midnight the party-buss turned into the Celtic Way to a joyous reception from fans, grateful for one of the most unlikely triumphs in the long history of the club.
From the end of the celebrations inside Tannadice fans started to gather along The Celtic Way in anticipation of the triumphant return. One song from The Carpenters seemed especially popular.

After a long day in a long season the track-suited players looked overawed as they saw the Celtic Way in a brand new light.
Last night was just a taster, Saturday will be the real deal with 60,000 waiting for a day of celebration throughout the city and beyond.
