Celtic win record-tying 55th Scottish league title

DUNDEE, Scotland (AP) — Celtic tied fierce Glasgow rival Rangers on a record 55 Scottish top-flight titles by clinching the trophy on Saturday with four games to spare.

A 5-0 win at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership put Celtic 18 points clear of second-place Rangers, which has five matches to play.

It was a fourth straight league title for Celtic and kept the team on course for a sixth domestic treble in the last nine seasons.
