Bookies make Celtic title payout decision as Odsonne Edouard top-scorer bets honoured

Ladbrokes customers who bet on Celtic to win the league will receive their winnings, the bookmaker has announced.

Neil Lennon 's side were crowned Premiership champions on Monday, but with eight rounds of the season still to be played there were fears that bets could be voided.

However, league sponsor Ladbrokes has confirmed that it WILL pay out on Celtic winning the title.

Bets on Hearts to be relegated and Odsonne Edouard to be top-scorer will also be honoured.

In addition, bets on outcomes that could still mathematically have happened will be refunded.

That means anyone who bet on Rangers to win the title will receive their stake back.

A Ladbrokes spokesperson said: "Following the SPFL decision to officially conclude the Ladbrokes Premiership 2019/20 season, we have settled ante post bets in line with our rules, and have paid out on Celtic as champions, Hearts being relegated and Odsonne Eduoard being top season goalscorer."

“However, in order to be as fair as possible to our customers, given the extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances, we have also decided to void any ante post bets that still had a mathematical chance of winning, and refund the stakes in full to customers."
