An SPFL spokesperson has confirmed that the final whistle was blown in Celtic’s win over Hearts.
Ecstatic scenes at Celtic Park saw fans flood the pitch after Callum Osmand secured the club’s 56th league title.
The goal turned out to be the last kick of the game, with Hearts players rushing out of the stadium whilst still in their kits.
Baseless claims have since emerged that the game was abandoned and Celtic could be set for penalisation. However, this has now been quashed.
Police condemn Celtic fan title celebrations. They knew for weeks it was going to happen.

“Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned.
“Yesterday’s match showed off the very best of the Scottish game and the drama and excitement that it is rightly famed for.
“The eyes of the world were on Glasgow and the climax of the William Hill Premiership, with millions of viewers watching the match on Sky Sports and across the globe.
“However, we utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach onto the field of play.
“We await the report of our match delegate regarding any specific incidents that took place but, regardless, supporters entering the field of play in any circumstances is wholly unacceptable and puts those participating and working at a match at risk.
“We note that entering the pitch in England and Wales has been a criminal offence since 1991.
“We urge anyone with information about any alleged criminal activity to contact Police Scotland.”
