CELTIC superfan Jay Beatty took centre stage at Celtic Park today as his beloved team were announced winners of the Scottish Premiership.
The popular 12-year-old, who is a Celtic FC Foundation Ambassador, even managed a horsey-back with striker Stefan Johansen for a lap of honour around the stadium.

Jay arrived early at the stadium with his dad Martin to take part in a special presentation by the Celtic Graves Society.
A plaque was unveiled at Celtic Park to commemorate the site of the original stadium.
Celtic Graves Society is behind the memorial which recognises the original site of Celtic Park when the club was formed.
The plaque was unveiled ahead of the Parkhead side’s game against Aberdeen in a ceremony also attended by Lisbon Lion Jim Craig and Celtic historian Terry Dick.
Jay's dad Martin said: "So so happy...this morning Jay got to lay a wreath in memory and honour of those who founded and built our original stadium. A wee salute in honour."
The youngster, who is also involved in championing those living with Down's Syndrome, then watched his side seal their fifth title in a row with a 3-2 win over Aberdeen.
