But Celtic equalised just two minutes later through Stuart Armstrong who fired the ball into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box.

Brendan Rodgers' side were dominant in the second half and their pressure paid off as Rogic bounded forward before blasting it in at the near post.

In 47 games Celts won 43, scored 134 goals, conceded just 27 and lost NONE.

But they made their fans sweat at Hampden in the very last game of the season.

Despite Celtic dominating Scottish football, Rodgers revealed there is still ONE target they didn’t achieve.

When asked about his seven targets, he said: “We ticked off six of our targets, one that we didn’t, and we obviously added a few more as we went along to ensure the impetus with the players continued.

“It’s been a dream. You could never of sat down – any manager – coming in at the beginning of the season and wrote down what we would have done.

“I said to the players just before they went out his is a game where you want them to write about it afterwards but you have to make it, you have to make history it doesn’t just happen."
