Celtic surrendered their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title to Old Firm rivals Rangers after drawing 0-0 against Hearts at Parkhead.

The Ibrox side's win over Dundee United at Tannadice ultimately rendered the Hoops' last game of the season meaningless.

However, the Parkhead side could not finish the campaign in style as striker Scott McDonald missed the best chance of the game in the first half with Aiden McGeady and Shunsuke Nakamura drawing good saves from Jambos keeper Marian Kello.

Striker Scott McDonald missed the best chance in the first half when he blasted wide from close range with Aiden McGeady and Shunsuke Nakamura drawing good saves from Jambos keeper Marian Kello.

With less than four minutes played the first opportunity of the afternoon arose for the home side when Hearts skipper Robbie Neilson fouled Shunsuke Nakamura 20 yards from goal.

However, the Japan international drew a decent save but no more from Kello with his free-kick which tried to sneak in at the near post.

Then, in the seventh minute, McDonald was sent free down the right channel by Andreas Hinkel but the Celtic striker's right-footed volley from just inside the box lacked the conviction to beat Kello.

Celtic continued to press and they missed a great chance in the 21st minute when Kello spilled Scott Brown's drive from the edge of the box with McDonald firing high over the bar from eight yards out.

In the 28th minute McGeady came alive for the first time in the game when he fired in a drive from the edge of the box which Kello tipped onto the post and behind for a corner.

As the Hearts fans taunted their Celtic counterparts, McGeady slipped the ball the wrong side of the post from 10 yards after being set up by Darren O'Dea. In the 72nd minute, as Celtic Park emptied further, Kello had another good save from Brown, before Shaun Maloney headed a McGeady cross wide of the far post.
