    Aberdeen v Celtic (FT: 0-3)

    To wrap things up here it seems appropriate to let the manager that clinched Celtic's 50th league title have the final say.

    "Today is all about savouring the moment," said Neil Lennon. "I hope the fans are really delighted because they've got a great team in front of them. We're the champions again and it's very, very special."

  2. On to next week...published at 15:33 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    As ever, Chris Sutton has squeezed a little bit of controversy out of today's result. Celtic travel to Rangers next weekend and the former striker believes the Ibrox club should cheer their cross-city rivals on to the pitch before kick off.

  3. Lennon - "Look I'm here to do a job and I've done it"published at 15:30 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Aberdeen v Celtic (FT: 0-3)

    So what now? Is Neil Lennon going to be the Celtic manager next season or will the club spend the summer scouring the land for an alternative? Here's what the Northern Irish coach said on the matter after the game.

    "Look I'm here to do a job and I've done it, we've got a couple more big games but that was my job. I didn't ask for the job but I was asked to do it short term and it was very tough. Externally it looked easy but internally it was tough, there was a lot of discontent around the place and confusion and I'm thankful to my staff for helping me through what was a difficult period."

  4. 'Steamy' celebrationspublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Celtic celebrated a "steamy" title win in more ways than one. With champagne popping left and right, the squad posed for photos while the humidity of the room just before the humidity in the changing room became too much for the camera.

    Ahead of today’s triumph, Neil Lennon had won six trophies in his nine years as a manager. The former midfielder already had three Premiership titles, one Championship title and two Scottish Cups.

    This trophy would make it seven for the Northern Irish coach, with a potential eighth on the way as the club now turn their attention to the Scottish Cup final against Hearts on May 25.

  6. Mikael Lustig wins top awardpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    According to our player rater Celtic full back Mikael Lustig was the man of the match in today's 3-0 win at Pittodrie.

    The defender's remarkable diving header to break the deadlock was surely the deciding factor that put him above second-placed Scott Bain and Callum McGregor in third.

  7. Aberdeen an appropriate foepublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Celtic wrapped up the league campaign at Pittodrie and in many ways Neil Lennon and his squad couldn't have hoped for a more appropriate opponent.

    Not only have the Glasgow side won five of their six fixtures against Derek McInnes' team this season, but they also haven't lost at the old stadium since February 2016.

  8. Plenty of praise for Neil Lennonpublished at 15:11 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Get in touch by tweeting @BBCSportScot

    Calum MacMillan: ‏"For all the stick Neil Lennon gets, and rightly so sometimes, eight in a row wrapped up. That’s us unbeaten in eleven and on the verge of a historic treble treble and I wouldn’t have any other man lead us to that feat."

    Craig Kraljski: "Thank you Neil Lennon. Brought into secure number eight. Done his job. Now win us the treble treble."

    Robbie: "If Celtic don't take Lennon permanently I think the majority of the Tartan Army would happily have him as Scotland manager. He will install discipline, set up as hard to beat, managed the core of the team at Celtic already and breed a winning mentality."

  9. Lennon behind dedicating the title to Stevie Chalmers and Billy McNeillpublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Aberdeen v Celtic (FT: 0-3)

    Lennon told BBC Sportsound: "I can't think of two more worthy people to dedicate this title to, if the fans and the club are behind it then so am I. They were the two giants of this club and I cant speak highly enough of my opinion of them, they were the greats and Billy for me was what the club is all about."

  11. 'They gave me the heebee jeebees' - Lennonpublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Celtic manager Neil Lennon says the side gave him the "heebee jeebees" at times as they claimed the league title.

    "Things just felt right this week, we kept calm with all the emotions with Billy [McNeill's] funeral, the negativity at times and fake news going about, but kept our focus."

    Lennon added that they have shut out some of the criticism: "You have to ignore that and focus on the amazing job players have done. I’m proud of them and the back room team who’ve helped me along the way."

    He added: "I'm very lucky to have worked with this group who have been solid all season.

    "It’s been really tough, toughest piece of management I've had to do, as it has been difficult coming in to the club but the players helped me and I like to think I’ve helped them. It's been really special."

  15. Time taken to win the titlepublished at 14:45 British Summer Time 4 May 2019

    Celtic win 50th league title

    Today’s title triumph for Celtic was claimed on matchday 36. When put within the context of the last seven, it’s a little late. Although it’s only one more week than last season, it’s six later than the club’s invincible title win under Brendan Rodgers the year before.

    In fact, this is the joint-latest of them all alongside Ronny Deila’s in the 2015/16 season. Although it’s perhaps fair to say Lennon has had to endure a little more competition in the league than the Norwegian did that season.

    Celtic win 50th league title

    Today’s title win is the Glasgow club’s 15th piece of silverware since this current run of dominance began in the 2011/12 season. Since then Celtic have (obviously) won eight league titles, as well as four League Cups and three Scottish Cups. Could they make it 16 before the season finishes?

    FT: Aberdeen 0-3 Celtic

    Scott Bain has now kept more clean sheets (15) than any other Premiership goalkeeper. Quite a feat, given he's only been involved for a half a season.

    In the second half, that was probably the best performance I have seen from Celtic under Neil Lennon. They created chances and controlled the game. They've done it in style today and they've done Billy proud.
