In the football world, Celtic put on an impressive performance as they put the Scottish title beyond the reach of Rangers after coming from behind to beat Hearts 4-1 on Saturday.
Celtic is now nine points and 22 goals ahead of last season’s champions Rangers, who have three games left starting with Sunday’s Ibrox clash with Dundee United.
During the game, Ellis Simms threatened to spoil the party when he fired Hearts into an early lead. But Celtic turned the game around before half-time through goals from Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi.
