Happy Hoops.

Celtic captain Scott Brown holds aloft the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership trophy for a seventh successive year after yesterday’s 1-0 home defeat at the hands of second-placed Aberdeen.

Aberdeen clinched second place in the Ladbrokes Premiership with a surprise 1-0 win over champions Celtic at Parkhead on the final day of the season.

In front of a packed house, most of whom were celebrating seven successive title wins with the trophy lift to follow the game, a goalless first half ensued, before Andrew Considine scored for the visitors two minutes after the restart.

The Pittodrie side held out for the rest of the game with admirable resolve to register their first league win at Celtic Park in 26 attempts.

Dons defender Shay Logan was shown a straight red card by referee Craig Thomson after the final whistle following a melee and after which he celebrated boisterously in front of the home supporters.

It was Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes’s first win over Brendan Rodgers’ side in 10 games and was not the end to the league season the Northern Irishman wanted, with a William Hill Scottish Cup final against Motherwell at Hampden Park to come next Saturday as they look to clinch an unprecedented successive domestic treble.

Rodgers rang the changes, with star players Moussa Dembele, Kieran Tierney, Mikael Lustig, Dedryck Boyata, Oliver Ntcham and Tom Rogic all returning, while Mark Reynolds and Greg Stewart were reinstated by McInnes.

The home side, almost inevitably, bossed possession but suffered a scare in the 10th minute when Stewart’s free-kick from 20 yards, after Lustig had fouled former Celt Gary Mackay-Steven, smacked off Scott Bain’s crossbar and rebounded to safety.

Celtic stormed up the park and Dons goalkeeper Joe Lewis blocked Dembele’s close-range effort.

As play swung to the other end, stretching Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer put a clearance inches past Bain’s left-hand post.

Celtic’s control tightened and in the 25th minute only a brilliant last-ditch tackle by Aberdeen defender Anthony O’Connor prevented Dembele’s angled drive from testing Lewis.

Then just after the restart Kenny McLean played in Considine, who drilled a low shot past Bain from 14 yards to stun Parkhead and get the win.

Lee Erwin’s early strike was enough to give Kilmarnock a winning end to a memorable campaign against a Hearts team featuring eight teenagers.
