Santa Claus delivered the Premiership trophy to Celtic, six months after being booed at the ground by the home support.

Celtic were celebrating their third successive league triumph, and their 54th Scottish top flight title, when supporters were surprised by the figure delivering the trophy to the staff and players.

Six months ago, during half-time with Celtic trailing 2-0 to Hearts, Santa was roundly booed by the home support who had been venting their frustration at the team just minutes earlier.

In the sunshine on trophy day, he had a different reception, being cheered by the home fans as he took to the park to the sounds Christmas music before delivering the silverware.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor then held the trophy aloft as players and supporters partied and celebrated their success.

Brendan Rodgers’ side wrapped up the league season with a 3-2 victory over St Mirren that saw them finish on 93 points from 38 games, eight points clear of nearest rivals Rangers.
