CELTIC clinched the Premiership title after a Giorgos Giakoumakis goal sealed a 1-1 draw with Dundee United at Tannadice.

It caps a superb first season in Scotland for Ange Postecoglou, who delivered the crown back to Parkhead at the first time of asking.

A litany of former Celts took to social media to congratulate the team, including club legend Kenny Dalglish. The Scotland record-holder had a classy message for Postecoglou and even quoted the Celtic Song.

He posted: "Congratulations to Celtic FC. Not bad for your first season, Ange. Sure it was a Grand Old Team to play for..."

Ex-players like Stiliyan Petrov sent well-wishes while Celtic Women's head coach Fran Alonso commended the style of football as well as the league triumph.

Former Hoops striker John Hartson took to Twitter, posting a picture of himself waving a Celtic flag from the gantry with the caption: "This is how you celebrate."

Never one to turn down an opportunity, Chris Sutton congratulated the Celts while also getting in a dig at rivals Rangers.

He posted: "Big Ange Postecoglou putting Rangers firmly back in their place."
