Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership title in style with an emphatic 5-1 win against Partick Thistle at Firhill.
Anthony Stokes headed the visitors into the lead in the third minute before 17-year-old substitute Liam Henderson, on for right back Adam Matthews at the start of the second half, opened his Celtic account in the 49th minute with a low drive from 12 yards.
Norwegian midfielder Stefan Johansen added a third goal in the 53rd minute to confirm the superiority of Neil Lennon’s side, who responded to losing a late goal to Jags substitute Christie Elliott by scoring another two through Stokes and Kris Commons.
Celtic’s third successive championship victory has been as comprehensive as it was inevitable, with traditional rivals Rangers still trying to get back to the top flight following their descent into administration and then liquidation.
The Hoops have lost only once in the league this season – against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
