Bonkers moment Santa Claus presents Scottish Premiership trophy to Celtic

This is the bizarre moment Santa Claus presented the Scottish Premiership trophy to Celtic.

Celtic supporters thrived in a title party at Parkhead following a 3-2 win over St Mirren in the final league fixture.

And there was a special guest on hand to deliver the trophy to the stadium...Santa Claus.

Celtic fans had booed Santa earlier in the season with tensions rising over the title race against Rangers.

During a 2-0 defeat to Hearts in December, the visitor from the North Pole was booed by supporters who were unimpressed with Celtic struggling to extend their lead in the league.

One supporter had commented: "Good idea Celtic bringing Santa out at half time when we are getting smashed two nil. We’re no in the mood."

However, Santa received a much happier reaction from the stands this afternoon as supporters erupted with noise at the trophy callback.

Santa Claus carried the Scottish Premiership trophy out onto the pitch as 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' played through the Parkhead sound system.
