The Scottish Premier League title was secured in emphatic fashion at Kilmarnock this afternoon as The Champions recorded the highest winning margin by any team in the league this season before celebrating an unforgettable league title.
There were sterling performances all over the field for Celtic but it was Charlie Mulgrew who made it his business that there would be no mistakes today. He scored two and created another two of Celtic’s opening four goals before a late flurry finished the scoring.
The opening goal was a bullet header from Charlie from a Kris Commons corner with less than 7 minutes on the clock. Mulgrew could have added a second three minutes later when he combined with Commons on the edge of the area before trying to clip the ball past Cammy Bell in the Kilmarnock goal but on this occasion his attempt went wide.
Glenn Loovens made it 0-2 after 15 minutes when a short corner was played across the field to Mulgrew on the right. Charlier swung in a deep cross to the back of the six yard box for Loovens to of back across goal and into the net.
On 35 minutes Mulgrew cut inside from the left wing and opened space for a delicious right foot shot inside the far post to put Celtic 0-3 ahead and in dreamland.
Moments later Adam Matthews crossed to the dangerous Commons who could have turned and shot but played the ball into the past of Georgios Samaras who drew a magnificent save from Bell.
Seconds before half time Mulgrew sent in a mirror copy of his earlier cross for Loovens but this time Gary Hooper raced onto the ball at the back post to fire into the net and give Celtic a four goal lead at half time.
Commons, who played as a false centre forward for most of the game to great effect, should have earned a penalty on the hour mark when he was barged off the ball when clean thought inside the box but his distinct hooped shirt counted against him.
Kris then played a magnificent pass onto the rampaging Loovens who injured himself in a challenge with Cammy Bell as his shot went narrowly wide.
The second half looked set to end without a goal before a couple of late contributions, the first from Ledley who combined with Stokes before clipping the ball over the goalkeeper. Gary Hooper then fired an unstoppable shot into the postage stamp corner from 19 yards to complete the rout.
Have a Champion Easter and enjoy your well earned celebrations.

Good to hear from you again.
Always good for a little perspective.
How do you see things working out for TFOD?

So is Neil gonnae tell us what fat Sally said after we beat them in last years replay or have I missed it?
If anyone, out there in CQN land can find comments I posted about 12 months ago under the moniker collins30, entitled – The Victimisation and Vilification of Neil Francis Lennon (part one), I would be eternally grateful as I have stupidly lost it.
What a day though. Chuffed to be a Celtic fan for a multitude of reasons.
My dad, who is 71 and without a beer in his system, proclaimed today, without a hint of hyperbole that Neil Lennon is more of a hero to him than Jock Stein and, for reasons we are all familiar with, he thinks he has already surpassed him. It took me by surprise.
Hail Hail, happy days

A lovely post. A day like today does get you thinking about those who went before us – our dearly departed to whom we owe so much.

Billy’s Bhoys from earlier – if you are asking me to lay off the SNP – absolutely no chance – like the huns they are beyond parody but I will keep trying!
Kojo – When it comes to cheating, they just can’t help themselves. They feel like they’re entitled to win:

I get a perverse satisfaction evey time Jelavic scores for Ex Celt D. Moyes Everton…satisfying on many levels..
With Wolves avout to be relegated, this summer is the time to resurect the bid for Steven Fletcher. He has been great for Wolves and has a good goalscoring record in the EPL. Just what we need to bolster an already excellent team.

Could we have seen the last of the despicable and gratuitously offensive Cr*ig B*rley as commentator for live Celtic matches ?
Exactly what concessions did our most perspicacious Paul67 extract from ESPN,in return for allowing their advert banner on this site ?
A diplomatic silence from our esteemed host could be construed as ample confirmation of my deduction…
Am I right or am I right ?
Stop Laughin’,Virginia….Ye’re startin’ to go a wee bit blue…
Philvis, friend of mine, take good care, I am off now, to listen to music and to to drink good whisky. I am going to Londindium soon to visit my Children, and on the way back, I shall pick up some decent whisky (IE Aberlour 12 yo at the tax free part of the airport for about £ 30 : 00 Ltr) which is a good deal just now.
anyway before I go , hre’s a tune for you. Hee hee, ta da ta da, taruum, tarrum, ta daa.

Doc is Neil Lennon – I have been accused of being dense at times, so I have to ask, what is the link to

Apologies, I thought you were Doc Brown.

“Haven’t posted in a while but it’s only fair to come on and congratulate your team on winning the title. It was a deserved win. (I hope you all realise how many teeth I ground down while typing this)”
Thank you.
I know some Rangers supporters like you but, unfortunately, there are too few.
never met the man but his name is etched in our history what a a legacy to leave

Good player though, wouldn’t be complaining if he did come.

Like I say, bit dense, good one.
CultsBhoy,
Jelavic is an absolute magical poacher of the highest order and will score 20 goals in that league next season.BTW Clint Dempsey is for me player of the season.
very happy with our team today, its always great to see us win the league.
liked the t-shirt ~ this is only the beginning
hope its a statement of intent rather than a cheap slogan. This summer is possibly the first time we can considerably trim the squad down while adding 2 or 3 quality additions.
Sorry ghuys……but I’m with Gordon64 on this one…….Ed Ursus comes on and says one thing and the fawning over him is quite boak inducing. Been posting here a few years myself and have always had the utmost respect for our Ed and MOST of his posts ……..but…….at the end of the day……..Ed still SUPPORTS………yes…….SUPPORTS a team that supports BIGOTRY…….I’ll give Ed due respect when he acknowledges that fact and condemns it.
Summa
He’s from Sweden.
Morning bhoys, hun free mountain talking.
Blootered, what a way to be, anaways, happpy as what ever.
This Tim is 6 x cases of kwality Spanish vino richer, no buying you a beer for winning the league, no it’s a bottle of the best…..happy days hermanos…
Philvis
LOL!
In this small bigoted country one man has stood tall his name is “Neil Francis Lennon”Tonighit when we get p***hed remember CHAMPIONS
