Celtic Clinches 55th Premiership, Pursues Historic Treble

Celtic secured their 55th Scottish Premiership title with a 5-0 victory over Dundee United, drawing level with rivals Rangers for the most top-flight league titles in Scottish football history. This victory marks Celtic’s fourth consecutive league title and puts them in contention for a sixth domestic treble in nine seasons, having already won the Scottish League Cup and with the Scottish FA Cup final against Aberdeen still to come. Under manager Brendan Rodgers, Celtic have claimed 11 of the 12 major domestic trophies available during his tenure, making him the club’s most successful living manager. Since 2000, Celtic have captured 19 league titles compared to Rangers’ six, closing a formerly large gap in their historic rivalry. Rodgers credited club leadership and support staff for their role in the club’s ongoing success. Rangers’ last league title came in 2021, emphasizing Celtic’s current dominance.
