Brendan Rodgers has reaffirmed his commitment to Celtic as the newly crowned champions wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title for the fourth successive season – their 55th and second trophy of the campaign – with a 5-0 thrashing of Dundee United at Tannadice.

Rangers had kept the race going last Sunday by coming from two goals down, and with 10 men to draw 2-2 at Aberdeen. However, Celtic’s cruise took them 18 points clear on top, rendering Rangers’ later 2-2 draw at St Mirren irrelevant to the title.
