Celtic sealed their eighth straight Scottish Premiership title with a comfortable 3-0 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday.

The Hoops needed only a point to get the job done, but easily won despite a couple of scares.

Interim manager Neil Lennon did what he set out to do after replacing Brendan Rodgers in February.

He said after the game, as quoted by BBC Sport: “I’m here to do a job and I’ve done it. I didn’t ask for the job – I got asked to do it short term. I am pleased with my staff for helping me through it.”

Celtic were inundated with messages on Twitter after their amazing feat, with ex-players such as Pierre van Hooijdonk, Paddy McCourt and Stefan Johansen all extending their congratulations.

Someone else who messaged the club was former Bhoy Joe Ledley, who branded the eighth straight league title a ‘fantastic achievement’.

Ledley represented the club from 2010-14 and won three league titles at Parkhead before moving on to join Crystal Palace.

The former fan favourite, now 32, was recently linked with a return to Celtic, after his contract at Derby County was terminated by mutual consent in January.
