Soccer-Celtic win Scottish title again

LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - Celtic won the Scottish league title for the fourth year in a row after Aberdeen lost 1-0 to Dundee United on Saturday. Celtic beat Dundee 5-0 on Friday to move to the brink of the championship and Aberdeen's loss left them 11 points clear at the top of the table with three games left. "We have achieved a big thing," Celtic manager Ronny Deila told the club's website. "Hopefully, there will be more and more. Defensively we have been unbelievable the whole season and we have hardly conceded a goal. Offensively we have been getting better and we scored five beautiful goals against Dundee on Friday night." Celtic have won 46 Scottish titles, eight behind their Glasgow arch-rivals Rangers, who are playing in the (second-tier) Championship after major financial problems.
