25 best Celtic title party pictures as Maeda warns Rangers who runs this city and a duck in a nappy rocks up
The Hoops clinched a fourth straight league title in style in the early-kick off at Tannadice
It's party time in the green half of Glasgow after Celtic rubber-stamped a fourth Premiership crown on the bounce by thrashing Dundee United 5-0 in Tayside.
Brendan Rodgers' side have done the business with four games to spare and will have the luxury of going across the city to face Rangers next Sunday as the kings of Scotland once again.
Bar a quiet opening at Tannadice, it was an easy day's work for Celtic who netted all five of their goals inside 58 minutes to get the party atmosphere among the travelling Parkhead support started early.
The full-time whistle saw Rodgers and his players spill onto the pitch in jubilation to celebrate their 55th league championship triumph, which now puts them level with their Old Firm neighbours.
The part has just got started outside Celtic Park, with thousands of supporters welcoming Callum McGregor, James Forrest and the rest of their heroes back to the stadium after having sealed part two of their intended domestic treble.
Record Sport has put together the best images that includes, yes, we are serious, a duck in a Celtic-themed nappy.

Callum Osmand can be Celtic punisher as Marco Silva gives Brendan Rodgers the key to unlock potential
Osmand is set to join the Premiership champions from Fulham as the Hoops take advantage of cross border transfers yet again Marco Silva has told Celtic how to get the best out of incoming new signing Callum Osmand. The Fulham starlet is set to follow in Moussa Dembele 's footsteps and make the move from Craven Cottage to Parkhead as the Premiership champions once again take advantage of cross border transfers for Under 21 payers. They will land the 19-year-old for training compensation and the Welsh youth international is understood to have already completed his Hoops medical. Cottagers boss Marco Silva rates Osmand highly, and promoted him to train with the first team and take his place on the bench towards the end of last season, although he wasn't given an English Premier League run out. And if the Portuguese's comments on Osmand are anything to go by, he will be disappointed to lose him, although the reason for leaving is exactly what Silva said the youngster needed after bringing him into the top team fold at Fulham. And he reckons a strike partner will allow Brendan Rodgers to see Osmand at his full potential further down the line. 'It's not his first time he's been with us," said Silva towards the end of the 2024/25 campaign. "Last season, he had some sessions with us, pre-season too, and the beginning of the season. "He is much more mobile [than a traditional centre forward], let's see if he is going to have a chance or not to play some minutes, but he is going to have a chance to train much more with us, to be much more involved with the first team. 'He needs more senior football in his legs to see how he can adapt, perform. He's got the profile that I like. When he has a chance, he can punish the opposition. "I can see the talent, in a position that is very difficult to play in the Premier League. Probably if you play another striker by his side … you will take the best from him. Let's hope we can help him to be ready for the Premier League.'

Hibs striker Kieron Bowie has been called into the Scotland squad for the first time after national team head coach Steve Clarke picked 25 players for next month's friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein. Clarke was at Easter Road to watch Bowie score for Hibs against Rangers and was no doubt impressed by the 22-year-old, who has previously been a mainstay for the under-21 squad. The former Raith and Fulham hitman joined Hibs last summer and despite suffering a serious hamstring issue, has helped the Easter Road side finish third in the Premiership. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Bowie is one of five forwards named in the squad alongside Torino's Che Adams, Middlesbrough hitman Tommy Conway, Ipswich's George Hirst and Hearts teenager James Wilson, who won his first cap for Scotland back in March. Scotland manager Steve Clarke has named his latest Scotland squad. | SNS Group Wilson's club teammate Craig Gordon misses out, however, with the 42-year-old having been sidelined by injury for Hearts' last three leagues matches. Angus Gunn, who is a free agent after leaving Norwich this summer, Kilmarnock's Robby McCrorie and Ipswich's Cieran Slicker are the three goalkeepers in the squad. Uncapped left-sided defender Josh Doig returns to set-up after helping Sassuolo wing Serie B, while Everton's Nathan Patterson is back after more than a year's absence due to hamstring issues. Grant Hanley (Birmingham), Jack Hendry (Al-Ettifaq), Max Johnston (Sturm Graz), Scott McKenna (Las Palmas), Anthony Ralston (Celtic), captain Andy Robertson (Liverpool), John Souttar (Rangers) and Celtic-bound Kieran Tierney make up the defenders. Miller keeps his place Teenager Lennon Miller, fresh from winning the young player of the year awards, keeps his place after a stellar season with Motherwell in midfield. Rangers' Connor Barron is included alongside regular call-ups Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay (both Napoli), Lewis Ferguson (Bologna) and John McGinn (Aston Villa). Ryan Christie of Bournemouth and Kenny McLean of Norwich are both injured. West Ham's Andy Irving keeps his spot in the midfield ranks.

21 brilliant retro photos of Scotland fans at the famous 2-2 draw with England in 2017 at Hampden
Can you believe it has been eight years since Leigh Griffiths bagged those two unforgettable free-kicks for Scotland against England in the sun in front of a sold-out Hampden? 'I've not seen a football celebration in a ground like this for a long, long, long time,' remarked a crestfallen Gary Neville on co-commentary, as the then-Celtic forward fired two unstoppable free-kicks beyond the outstretched arm of Three Lions goalkeeper Joe Hart in the dying embers of the World Cup qualifier in Glasgow. The home crowd exploded into scenes of wild celebration that have struggled to be matched since.
