(Reuters) - Celtic secured an eighth consecutive Scottish Premiership title with a convincing 3-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday. Striker James Wilson missed two early opportunities to put Aberdeen ahead before Neil Lennon's Celtic took the control of the match with the opening goal just before halftime. An angled cross from midfielder Callum McGregor was met by right back Mikael Lustig, who sent a diving header past Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis. The Glasgow side's sixth consecutive win at Pittodrie means they are now 12 points clear of second-placed Rangers who have three games to play. Celtic, the League Cup winners, could complete a third successive domestic treble when they meet Hearts in the Scottish Cup final on May 25.
