This is the bizarre moment Santa Claus presented the Scottish Premiership trophy to Celtic.
Celtic supporters thrived in a title party at Parkhead following a 3-2 win over St Mirren in the final league fixture.
And there was a special guest on hand to deliver the trophy to the stadium...Santa Claus.

Celtic fans had booed Santa earlier in the season with tensions rising over the title race against Rangers.
During a 2-0 defeat to Hearts in December, the visitor from the North Pole was booed by supporters who were unimpressed with Celtic struggling to extend their lead in the league.
One supporter had commented: "Good idea Celtic bringing Santa out at half time when we are getting smashed two nil. We’re no in the mood."

However, Santa received a much happier reaction from the stands this afternoon as supporters erupted with noise at the trophy callback.
Santa Claus carried the Scottish Premiership trophy out onto the pitch as 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' played through the Parkhead sound system.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
