Liverpool win puts Celtic in automatic Champions League driving seat

Liverpool did Celtic a huge favour in the Champions League semi-finals by beating Villarreal 2-0 at Anfield.

The men in yellow still have a puncher's chance when they take the Reds to the Estadio de la Ceramica but Jurgen Klopp's side look good to make the final and wipe out a nightmare scenario for whoever is crowned Scottish champions in the process.

Ange Postecoglou and his side are in the driving seat in the Scottish Premiership title race with a six point advantage and an enormous goal difference chasm ensuring they're likely to win the league even if rivals Rangers make up the deficit, though stranger things have happened in Scottish football.
