It was a dominant season for the Hoops, who also won the League Cup back in December. And there’s still one more trophy to play for, with the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen at Hampden on the horizon next Saturday.

Winning that would be another treble, and make Brendan Rodgers the first Celtic manager to win three domestic trebles.

For today, however, it was all about celebrating the Premiership title, with the trophy being lifted at Paradise following a 1-1 draw against St Mirren.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, the Celtic manager said: “It’s been brilliant and the guys deserved to get something from the game.

'The consistency overall, and with consistency that’s about mentality, and the players every single day deserve so much credit.'

“We’ve pushed them, they responded from mistakes and you can only be as good as we’ve been this season because of the players.

“They’ve been absolutely incredible, but I think there’s been a real connection with the support and the team, and that’s been great to see.”

Celtic’s equaliser came late in added time at the end of the game and it was a fairytale ending to the match as James Forrest scored.

It was his first goal of the campaign but, more importantly, it meant he has scored in 16 consecutive seasons for Celtic, taking him alongside Paul McStay and Jimmy McGrory in achieving that feat.

And his manager was delighted to see the winger get the goal.

“In the second half we were better, created a lot of chances and then what a story at the end,” he said.

'It’s just incredible really and it’s so deserving, and it means everybody leaves here a champion but also seeing James score, so it was amazing.'

“Ali did so well because I was thinking it’s opened up for him and he’s got a good strike on him, but it was really good composure and, also for James, he could have just lashed at that but it was a nice touch, good composure and it hit the target and went in.

“It’s important to celebrate this achievement because to be as comfortable as we’ve been throughout the season – that takes a lot of work.

“However, we’ve kept going, kept focused and now we’ve got one more title to try and aim for, but we’ll celebrate this and then get ready next week for next Saturday at Hampden.”
