In Pictures: Celtic clinch seventh consecutive Scottish Premiership title with five-star demolition of Rangers

Brendan Rodgers’ side needed to win at Parkhead to retain their crown, and they swept their Old Firm rivals aside.

The Hoops secured their seventh straight Scottish Premiership title in sensational style with a thumping 5-0 victory over Glasgow derby rivals Rangers on April, 29, 2018.

Rodgers’ men surged into a 3-0 lead at half-time after a brace from prolific French striker Odsonne Edouard - replacing the injured Moussa Dembele up front - and one from James Forrest had the home side in control.

Rangers simply had no answers to their opponents relentless football and Tom Rogic added a fourth early in the second half before Callum McGregor wrapped up the victory after just 53 minutes.

Celtic could easily have won by a greater margin on the day as they threatened to emulate their heavy 7-1 thrashing of the Ibrox side back in 1957, but that did little to dampen the celebrations in front of a sell-out 60,000 crowd at Parkhead.
