Celtic thrash Dundee United to clinch fourth Scottish Premiership title

Celtic demolished Dundee United 5-0 on Saturday, to clinch their fourth successive Scottish Premiership title.

Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah both netted braces after Ryan Strain’s own-goal saw the champions take the lead.

This is Celtic’s 13th Scottish crown in the last 14 seasons.

With four matches left to play this campaign, they are 18 points clear of second-placed Rangers, who have five games remaining.

The Glasgow club have claimed 21 of the last 26 domestic trophies as Brendan Rodgers’ men reign supreme in Scotland.

Celtic had only needed a point against Dundee to be confirmed champions again, but decided to be crowned in style.

Rodgers’ latest triumph takes his tally to 11 major trophies as Celtic manager.

They remain on course for their sixth treble in nine seasons, and Rodgers’ third, when they face Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final in May.
