With a 3-0 win at Aberdeen, Celtic moved into an unassailable 12-point lead in the Scottish Premiership to clinch a 50th top-flight title with two games to spare. Having already collected the Scottish League Cup in December, Celtic will wrap up the treble if it wins the Scottish Cup final against Hearts on May 25. Perhaps just as importantly, Celtic is one more league title from tying the record of nine in a row — held by the Celtic teams of 1966-74 and Rangers’ teams from 1989-97. “We need to take some time, even the supporters, to take stock and enjoy the moment,” said Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who has won the Scottish league four times. Celtic has played 13 league games since then, winning 10 and drawing the other three.
