Celtic wraps up 7th consecutive Scottish title after Old Firm thumping
It's a dynasty that knows no end.
Celtic celebrated a seventh consecutive Scottish Premiership title in the best possible way, embarrassing bitter rival Rangers in a comprehensive 5-0 win on Sunday.

It wasn't quite as dominant a campaign as last season, when Celtic went unbeaten to finish as modern-day Invincibles, but blowout victories were still routine. The Bhoys in Green won nine matches by three goals or more, including Sunday's evisceration of Rangers.
With the League Cup and Premiership in its back pocket, Celtic will now aim to pull off the domestic treble when it takes on Motherwell in the final of the Scottish Cup on May 19.
"To get a performance like that to clinch the league is very satisfying," manager Brendan Rodgers told BBC Scotland. "The league is tougher this year, but it shows the level the players are at (that we have won the) league cup, title, and (are) one game away from the treble.
"We're hungry and want to consistently win. The players are doing that and there's a great mentality shown by the team."
