Celtic managed to do yet another Scottish football first yesterday as they took the treble treble at Hampden Park.

The Hoops, as we’ve become accustomed to, had to do the hard way of course. Ryan Edwards fired Hearts 1-0 ahead early in the second-half, but a brace from our Fantastic Frenchman Odsonne Edouard was enough to down Craig Levein’s men.

It was a day that will live long in the memory of supporters. Neil Lennon has managed to take Brendan Rodgers’ star-studded team and continue that success. Granted, the performances haven’t been great, but who honestly cared about that come the full-time whistle yesterday?

And here, we take a look at the story of the day through images from yesterday.
