Glasgow: Celtic became the first Scottish Premiership club to go unbeaten through a 38-game season when they defeated Hearts 2-0 yesterday to win the league by a mammoth 30 points.
Second-half goals by Leigh Griffiths and Stuart Armstrong ensured they didn't slip up on the last day, as Celtic ended up with a record of played 38, won 34 and drew four.
The unbeaten feat was last achieved in Scotland by arch-rivals Rangers in 1898-99, over an 18-game season, and Celtic join the likes of Arsenal (2003-04) and Juventus (2011-12) in being "invincible" during a domestic campaign.
Celtic plundered 106 goals and under former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers can seal a domestic treble -- their first since 2001 -- next Saturday if they beat Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final.
Celtic, who were presented with the Premiership trophy for the sixth time in a row, set a new points record of 106 -- their nearest "challengers" were Aberdeen, way back on 76.
"It is a monumental achievement by the players. They have inscribed their names into the history of this incredible club now," said Rodgers.
"We had to work hard and to beat the goals record and the wins record means it's a truly fantastic day."
Before the match an emotional tribute was paid to Celtic's 1967 European Cup winning side -- affectionately known as the Lisbon Lions -- and by kick-off the noise reverberating around Celtic Park was deafening.
Celtic started brightly, Griffiths curling a free-kick into the side netting before a fierce effort from Kieran Tierney dipped just over the bar.
However, it was Hearts who came closest to an opener midway through the half.
