Celtic Glasgow champion of Scotland, equaled by Rangers

Celtic is champion of Scotland for the 13th time in the last 14 years. The ‘Bhoys’ were mathematically assured of the title thanks to today’s 5-0 win over Dundee United, with goals by Kuhn (2) and Idah(2) and an own goal by Strain.

With today’s result, Celtic has an 18-point lead over ‘cousins’ Rangers, second in the standings but with only five games left to play, and thus unable to catch up with or overtake Brendan Rodgers’s green-and-whites, manager on his 11th trophy win at the helm of the Glasgow team.

Celtic also equaled the number of domestic titles won by its arch-rivals, 55. Now Celtic will have a chance to make it a double when it faces Palestinian striker Oday Dabbagh’s Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final in May. Aberdeen coached by Alex Ferguson was the last team to win a Scottish title before 22 won by Celtic and 18 by Rangers.
