Review
Celtic take the lead when Aitken blasts one in from the spot after Johnston was fouled.
Miller equalised for Aberdeen but Celtic had a winning goal controversially disallowed when McGarvey outjumped the flapping Leighton but was adjudged to have fouled the keeper.
Aberdeen players and fans celebrated the title at the end even though it was still technically possible for Celtic to win it.
