Scottish champions Celtic were presented with the league trophy today after a late goal from Maciej Zurawski salvaged a 1-1 draw with Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League.

Hearts strengthened their grip on the second Champions League slot with a 2-0 home win over Kilmarnock on Saturday to open a five point gap over rivals Rangers, who could only draw 1-1 with Aberdeen.

Celtic moved to 86 points from 34 games, while Hearts have 68 and Rangers sit third with 63.

Fourth-placed Hibs applauded Celtic on to the pitch but then dampened the celebrations by taking the lead 10 minutes before halftime.
