‘Feel an Ange statue coming on’ - Fans react as Celtic crowned back-to-back champions of Scotland

Celtic are just win away from securing their first treble under Ange Postecoglou after the champions successfully defended the Scottish Premiership title on Sunday.

A 2-0 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle ensured the Hoops will get their hands on the trophy for a second consecutive season later this month before facing Championship side Inverness in the Scottish Cup final on June 3 as they aim to complete a clean sweep of domestic trophies.

The Parkhead club knew their title party would be postponed by a week if they dropped points at Tynecastle and Rangers won - as the did against Aberdeen at Ibrox. But they can now head into the final Glasgow derby of the season with the silverware already wrapped up after goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh Hyeon-gyu sank the Jambos.

It leaves Celtic on the verge of a setting a new world record of EIGHT domestic treble and they will be overwhelming favourites to lift the Scottish Cup in the coming weeks. Will Ange Postecoglou’s side write their own chapter in the Celtic story that will be remembered forever?

The vast majority of fans certainly seem to think so, with the Australian lauded by supporters for his latest achievement. Here is what they have been saying on social media after the club’s title triumph....
