Celtic win the SPL

[Beefy]

Celtic won the Scottish title for the third successive season, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink rising to head home the winner on a tense final day.

Gordon Strachan became only the third Celtic manager to achieve such a feat after a single goal was enough to see off Dundee United.

Both sides were denied by some fine goalkeeping in a nervy game.

But, with Rangers losing to Aberdeen, Vennegoor of Hesselink's header sent Celtic three points clear at the top.

The two Glasgow rivals had gone into their final matches equal on points but with Celtic having the advantage on goal difference.

But Celtic were the form team having won their last six Scottish Premier League games to overhaul a faltering Rangers' lead - and had not lost in their last 12 visits to Tannadice.

Well done to Celtic, 6 straight wins snatched the title from Rangers. Rangers must be gutted, they were chasing a quadruple not long ago but it looks like too many games in a short time has taken it's toll.

Rangers showed last night they've no bottle for the big occasion, i'm well chuffed they didn't win the SPL simply because they've brought shame on Scottish football over the last week.

Your right Frank, Rangers performace in Manchester last week was the worst we've seen in years what will bother me though is that'll seen as the British football problem

And well done Celtic kept playing until the end of the season.......

I believe it was only a small minority of 200 or so Rangers fans that caused any trouble though ?. Not exactly a riot. But it does bring in to focus the problems of Crowd Control were we to have the Home Internationals again. I still believe that this would be counter productive in the long run.
