    Celtic overcame "so many issues" to clinch their 12th Scottish Premiership title in the last 13 seasons, says manager Brendan Rodgers.

    The league leaders needed a point at Kilmarnock to get over the line, but were two up in 12 minutes and went on to win 5-0 as they clinched the championship in style.

    "I thought we were absolutely brilliant tonight," Rodgers told Sky Sports of the thumping win at a ground where Celtic have lost on their last two visits.

    "From a management perspective, there's been so much to manage, so many issues, some real tedious stuff. It's been a great learning season.

    You have to have some sympathy.

    Mark Damon not Matt Damon. Just making that clear.

    Film actor and producer in many films gone at 91 years. I remember him mainly from appearances in Spaghetti Westerns, the lead in Johnny Yuma, Ringo and his Golden Pistol for example. First film I saw him in was "Requiescant" where he played the antagonist aristicrat and murderer George Bellow Ferguson to Lou Castel's highly religious gunfighter. Unusual for Damon to play the bad guy, he looked like a vampire.

    Can't be many of the stars of that era of the Italian Western genre left now.

    First film I saw him in was House of Usher with Vincent Price.  Good actor.

    I love tea. I've strayed away from loose but I keep meaning to nipvin town to see if the - brilliant, may I add - Braithwaites is still on the go. Iced tea is lovely too.

    I'm a wimp with coffee nowadays, it just causes mayhem in the stomach region. Do enjoy the Jessie Lattes though. Starbucks is the dugs but last time I was in I was near £6 for it.

    Ah, the aroma of Castle Street on a Saturday morning.

    There are 1665 steps in the Eiffel Tower. @Snobot with an excellent guess at 1600 means he beats @Eednud in his playoff (our favourite Wire obsessed Hibs fan having failed to submit).

    @German Jag guessed 900 while @mathematics estimated 3741, meaning my fellow Jag sneaks his playoff.

    Well played a'body.

    The height of a step in France is 7.1 inches and the viewing platform on the Eiffel Tower is at 906 feet giving an expected 1531 steps.  I'm assuming the builders were on piecework and sneaked a few extra steps in.
