Santa Claus delivers Premiership trophy to Celtic in Parkhead sunshine

Santa Claus delivered the cinch Premiership trophy at Parkhead as Celtic celebrated a turnaround in fortunes following a third-successive title.

Six months on from being booed while doing the half-time prize draw as Celtic trailed 2-0 to Hearts on their way to back-to-back league defeats, Santa was brought on to carry the silverware onto the plinth.

Celtic were seven points ahead of Rangers after seven games but struggled for consistency in mid-season and fell behind in mid-February.

But they finished on 93 points – eight ahead of their city rivals – after winning nine and drawing one of their final 10 games.
