On this day in 2004, Celtic lifted the title despite a 2-1 home defeat to Dunfermline Athletic.
Nicholson gave the Pars a first half lead, before the King of Kings Henrik Larsson equalised a minute after the break. Dunfermline returned to put a dampener on the party though, netting the winner little over 10 minutes later.
Football is a funny old game as despite the league being won, few would have believed that a Celtic line up such as this would have lost such a match at home:
Marshall, Varga, Mjallby, McManus (Pearson 45), Smith (Miller 57), Lennon, Lambert, Thompson, McGeady (Beattie 75), Larsson, Sutton.

Nevertheless, the trophy was lifted and a League and Cup double was eventually secured, with Celtic getting revenge on Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup final.
