A 5-0 win at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership put Celtic 18 points clear of second-place Rangers, which has five matches to play.
It was a fourth straight league title for Celtic and kept the team on course for a sixth domestic treble in the last nine seasons.
Celtic has already won the Scottish League Cup and has reached the final of the Scottish FA Cup, against Aberdeen on May 24.
