Celtic players receive pyro fan celebration after sealing the Scottish Premiership league title

Celtic stars soak up incredible Parkhead atmosphere as thousands of fans celebrate title win

CELTIC players last night soaked up the incredible atmosphere outside Parkhead after sealing the Scottish Premiership title.

Ange Postecoglou's side were confirmed as league champions after taking a point against Dundee United at Tannadice.

And after the domestic success was wrapped up, Celtic supporters descended on Parkhead to welcome the team bus back to Glasgow.

For several Celtic stars it's their first time winning the league in Scotland, and they were met with jubilant scenes as supporters chanted while fireworks went off and flares were set off outside Celtic Park.

Summer signings Liel Abada and Joe Hart shared snapshots of the celebrations on social media.

Celtic academy graduates Stephen Welsh and Anthony Ralston also shared video footage of the celebrations on Instagram.

Ralston simply captioned the footage: "Unreal".

Postecoglou was himself close to tears after the title triumph last night as he hailed his side.

He told Sky: "The fans had a tough year last year.

"Not just the fact that we didn't win anything but they couldn't come and support their team.

"They've been right behind us since day one. I couldn't be happier.

"I'm really proud of this group of player and staff.

"I think our football has been outstanding but the character this team has shown through the last 31 games to rise to every challenge, I couldn't be more proud of them."
