Celtic title party LIVE as Ange Postecoglou's side are crowned Premiership champions

It's been a mere formality for weeks but now it's official - Celtic are Scottish Premiership champions again.

Ange Postecoglou 's side, unfancied in the midst of a rebuild at the start of the campaign, have defied their doubters to reclaim the league crown from rivals Rangers.

A 1-1 draw at Dundee United on Wednesday night confirmed that the title was heading back to Glasgow's east end.

The party started at Tannadice and moved on to Celtic Park as the new champions returned home and it's set to continue all through the day.

For a number of Celtic 's new-look squad, this is their first title and it's already being billed as a special one among fans considering both how far behind Rangers they were last season and, perhaps most sweetly, how many wrote them off early doors.

It's also a first as captain for Callum McGregor and he will now lead the team back to the Champions League next term.

Postecoglou has promised this is just the beginning for his team and the manager's stock could hardly be higher, with the league success completing a domestic Double alongside the Premier Sports Cup.

The party is set to rage on throughout the day and you can follow all the latest in our LIVE blog below.

Ange Postecoglou was beaming with pride after his Celtic team secured the Premiership title at Tannadice.

But they have stormed it since Christmas with a 31-match unbeaten run sealing the title in style.

They had to wait to secure it mathematically but a 1-1 draw with Dundee United was enough to get it over the line.

And Postecoglou couldn't hide
