Nakamura to the rescue as last gasp Celtic clinch title

CELTIC clinched the Bank of Scotland Premier League title in the most dramatic of fashions with a late win over Kilmarnock.

In an enthralling 90 minutes, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink headed the Hoops into a first-half lead from a Shunsuke Nakamura corner. However, five minutes after the interval Colin Nish equalised when he slid home a Gary Wales cut-back from 10 yards out. A pulsating second half ensued but it looked like the title race would go another week.

However, in the first minute of added on time, Nakamura flashed in a trademark free-kick from 25 yards for Celtic to retain their crown.
