Celtic end their four-year wait for the Scottish Premier League title by defeating Kilmarnock 6-0 at Rugby Park.

Neil Lennon's Celtic have been crowned the champions of Scotland following a 6-0 win over Kilmarnock this afternoon.

Charlie Mulgrew and Gary Hooper both scored braces for the Bhoys, while Glenn Loovens and Joe Ledley added solo efforts.

The success has brought an end to Celtic's four-year wait for the title, having seen rivals Rangers collect the trophy for the past three seasons.

Celtic are currently 21 points clear of Rangers, who are in second position.
