A fourth @spfl premiership title in a row. Incredible achievement, Hoops! 👏#AthleticClub 🦁 https://t.co/WOkQnMuhNl
The Basque outfit were seemingly delighted, as was Rodgers post-match: "We're very happy, firstly, for our players because of what they've given to this season," he said.
"Their mentality, their work, I've said before, but it all boils down to an idea, how you want to play, walking your socks off and having the club values at heart in everything that you do.
"This team have shown every moment of that right the way through the season. When we've needed to, we've turned up. That's the reality. We knew this was going to be a tough game, and it was a tough game despite the scoreline.
"We had to stand up for the first 15 minutes, be strong, be aggressive, do all the things you have to do, do the dirty work. From that, our football comes into it, and we scored five and could have had more.
"This is a place where Jim (Goodwin) has done an incredible job. He's done an incredible, here, of bringing the team up and getting them into the top six, fighting for European football. Today was about Celtic - and I am so pleased for everyone."
Celtic are back in action next Sunday when they travel to face Rangers at Ibrox.
