Celtic clinched their third consecutive Scottish Premiership title in style last night, running out worthy 5-0 winners at Rugby Park.
It was a show of sheer footballing brilliance from the champions who turned on the style at a ground which has caused them problems this campaign.
The victory secured manager Brendan Rodgers’ league championship as Parkhead boss.
The Irishman returned to Glasgow last summer to a mixed reception but in the end, he has produced the goods.
When he initially came back and was unveiled to the supporters at Celtic Park, Rodgers made a bold statement, telling the fans that he’d see them back at Paradise in May.
As the season progressed into its darkest depths, such comments looked foolish but when the pressure was on, the gaffer and his side came alive, gaining consistency in performances at a vital time to bring home the bacon.
Last night after the win over Killie, the Celtic team returned to Parkhead to much fanfare. Thousands turned out to greet the team, and Rodgers’ reflected on his ‘see you in May’ comments.
He said: [Clyde 1 Superscoreboard] “I stood here a year ago and there was about 200 people here.
“I said that I would see you back here in May, and we have a bit more than 200 here now, fantastic!”
