Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has aimed a brilliant dig at the Hoops' arch-rivals after the end of the Scottish season, one in which the Bhoys reigned supreme domestically.

The Lowdown: Celtic reign supreme in Scotland

Ange Postecoglou's side endured a tense Premiership title battle with their crosstown adversaries throughout the season, with the pair neck-and-neck going into May.

It was Celtic who prevailed in the end, picking up a vital 2-1 win at Ibrox last month and ultimately regaining their crown after seeing the Gers deny them in the quest for a 10th successive league title last year.

The Hoops also won the Scottish League Cup in what was a superb season under Postecoglou, his first in charge of the Parkhead club.

The Latest: Sutton aims cheeky dig

Sutton is never one to shy away from confrontation, and taking to Twitter on Saturday, he dropped a nine-word dig in Rangers' direction in the immediate aftermath of the Light Blues' Scottish Cup triumph, their only trophy of the season.

The former Celtic striker cheekily stated: "They’ve finished the season in Celtic’s shadow once again…"

The Verdict: Celtic back where they belong

Losing out on the title last season was tough to take, robbing Celtic of 10 league titles in a row, but the Hoops' response to that disappointment has been incredible.

They are back at the summit of Scottish football again, and it's all the sweeter that it is at the expense of their bitter Glasgow rivals, to which Sutton alluded in his provocative tweet.

The main thing now is for Postecoglou and his players to kick on from here rather than standing still, hopefully winning many many trophies in the coming years as Rangers resume the role of hunters rather than being hunted.
