Celtic crowned Scottish Premiership champions despite draw at Dundee United

Celtic have been crowned champions of the Scottish Premiership despite drawing 1-1 against Dundee United at Tannadice Park on Wednesday night.

After a goalless first half, Giorgos Giakoumakis broke the deadlock for the Hoops with a header in the 53rd minute, but the Tangerines equalised when Dylan Levitt rifled a 25-yard strike beyond Joe Hart in the 72nd minute.

Nevertheless, Celtic only required a point to win the title and they now cannot be caught by Old Firm rivals Rangers who, despite beating Ross County 4-1 at Ibrox, sit four points behind the Hoops in second with just one game remaining.

Head coach Ange Postecoglou, who took the reins last summer, endured a difficult start to life at Parkhead, losing three of his first six Premiership games in charge, but the Australian has since guided the Hoops on an incredible 31-game unbeaten league run, including 25 victories.

Rangers cruised to the title last season without losing a single game, but their Glaswegian rivals have now reclaimed the top-flight crown, with this season's triumph their 10th in 11 years and their 52nd in total.

Celtic will celebrate the title in front of their own supporters at Parkhead after they face top-four hopefuls Motherwell on Saturday.
