Celtic are one win away from clinching the Scottish Premier League title following a comfortable 2-0 victory at Livingston yesterday.

Two goals inside five second-half minutes secured the points in the top-against-bottom clash. Striker Maciej Zurawski slotted home the opener in 47 minutes from close range and then Shaun Maloney converted a penalty.

Celtic are now on 79 points from 31 games while second-placed Hearts have 62 from 31 after winning 2-1 at Falkirk on Saturday. Champions Rangers remain third with 56 from 31 after their 1-0 victory against Dunfermline.

The teams play 38 matches in total so Celtic will win their 40th championship if they beat Hearts at home on Wednesday, April 5.
