Alistair Johnston wants a statue built for interim Celtic boss Martin O’Neill.
In a final day as dramatic as they come, the Hoops have dug in deep again, coming from behind for the third time in a week to make it happen.
The title was in Hearts’ grasp for much of the game, but at the end of the day, winners win. The winners won today — whether the masses are happy with it or not.
Late goals from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand made the difference, delivering Celtic’s 56th league title — undisputedly more than any other Scottish Club.
