Celtic clinch 48th title, still eye treble
EDINBURGH • Celtic thrashed Hearts 5-0 away to win their 48th Scottish football title yesterday, with Scott Sinclair scoring a hat-trick as Brendan Rodgers' side claimed a sixth consecutive Premiership.
They are still unbeaten, having drawn just two of their 30 league matches and having already won the League Cup. They have a Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers coming up on April 23 and so remain on course for the treble.
