Scottish Premiership Review: Muirhead winner sees Celtic crowned champions

Celtic have been crowned Scottish champions for the fourth consecutive season and for the 46th time in their history following Aberdeen's 1-0 defeat at Dundee United.

A 5-0 trouncing of Dundee on Friday from Ronny Deila's Celtic had meant that Derek McInnes' side needed to win at Tannadice in order to take the Scottish Premiership title race to another week, but they were unable to recover from Robbie Muirhead's 13th-minute goal.

Hamilton Academical edged Kilmarnock in a five-goal thriller at Rugby Park. 

Lee Ashcroft gave the home side an early lead, but Jason Scotland, Darian MacKinnon and Nigel Hasselbaink all replied for Hamilton, who held on despite youngster Greg Kiltie's first senior goal reducing the deficit on 78 minutes and ensuring a tense finale.

Second-bottom Motherwell fought out a gritty 1-1 draw with Ross County at Fir Park, Scott McDonald firing the hosts into an early lead from close range before Liam Boyce levelled things up just before the break.
