Celtic thrash Kilmarnock to win the Scottish Premiership title

Celtic are officially champions of Scotland.

Brendan Rodgers has guided the Hoops to their third successive Scottish Premiership title.

After Saturday's 2-1 victory over Rangers, it was all but secured, with a six-point gap opened up.

Philippe Clement's side came from behind to win against Dundee at Ibrox on Tuesday evening, but Celtic knew they just had to avoid defeat when they travelled to Kilmarnock tonight if they wanted to be crowned league winners - with one game remaining.

And that's exactly what they delivered. 

Celtic produced one of the performances of the season to thrash Killie 5-0, with a Matt O'Riley brace plus goals from Daizen Maeda, Adam Idah and James Forrest setting up the prospect of  a domestic double later this month. 

It'll be full party mode for the Celtic players fans now though as they head back up to Glasgow to celebrate their latest triumph.

More to follow.
