Blimey, some excitement north ofthe border today.

Celtic had to beat Motherwell to be sure of the title with Rangers winning their match against Hibs. They were leading 1-0 thanks to a Chris Sutton goal but with the huge contingent of Celtic supporters geting uneasy Terry Butcher's side staged an astonishing late rally, with McDonald equalising in the 88th-minute to put Rangers back in the driving seat.

Australian-born striker McDonald, who is a Celtic supporter, then devastated the travelling Bhoys fans by grabbing a second in injury time.

Rangers, who had to wait until the 59th minute to break down Hibernian's stiff defence courtesy of Novo's first league goal since 2 March, held on for victory and had to wait for the full-time whistle to go at Fir Park to confirm the title.

News of Celtic's defeat sparked scenes of jubilation at Easter Road as Rangers rejoiced in recapturing the title in the most dramatic of circumstances

Hibs still finished 3rd, which will please an Edinburgh mate of mine I watched the FA Cup final with yesterday.

Dundee were relegated on Saturday and will be replaced by Div 1 Champs Falkirk.
