    Celtic’s title celebrations continued long after the final whistle on Saturday as the squad appeared to aim a cheeky dig at the Ibrox club during the post-match party inside the dressing room.

    After a dramatic afternoon at Celtic Park, Martin O’Neill’s side eventually secured the Scottish Premiership title with a dramatic 3-1 victory over Hearts.

    The champions began the day trailing Derek McInnes’ side by a point and required a win to retain the title.

    The emotional nature of the triumph sparked wild scenes both on the pitch and in the dressing room, with players singing and dancing alongside the league trophy after the match.

    Among the songs heard during the celebrations was Tina Turner’s Simply the Best — a track long associated with theRangers and traditionally played at Ibrox before kick-off.

    In recent seasons, however, Celtic supporters have embraced the anthem themselves, using it to taunt the Ibrox club given that Celtic are the most successful club in Scotland.

    The players appeared to continue that trend in the dressing room, loudly belting out the song while posing with the Premiership trophy after sealing another dramatic title success.
