On This Day in Celtic’s illustrious and unbroken history, Gary Hooper lead the celebrations as Neil Lennon’s side would be presented with the league title at full-time.
2012 – CELTIC 5 HEARTS 0
Nine years ago, Celtic lifted the first of 9 titles-in-a-row with a win at home to Hearts. Neil Lennon’s side demolished the capital team with Gary Hooper scoring a first half hat-trick. Remarkably, despite the dominant display in front of goal, the Scottish Cup winners that season would have more possession but it was the Scottish Champions that put on a show.
Hooper’s goals meant that the Lennon’s first title as manager would be with a margin of 20 points. The win would be the beginning of the incredible run that lead to a record-equalling 9IAR.
13th May 2012, Celtic 5:0 Hearts.
