1. Celtic won the Scottish Premier League on a dramatic final day of the season with a 1-0 win over a spirited Dundee United at Tannadice. With 20 minutes of an absorbing contest remaining Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink met Paul Hartley's corner with a towering header from five yards that left 'keeper Lukasz Zaluska with no chance. A Celtic win meant Rangers would need to produce a goal-fest of staggering proportions to take the title away from their arch-rivals, though they slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Aberdeen at Pittodrie.


2. Former Manchester United and Chelsea star Paul Parker will be pleased to see the back of Didier Drogba if he leaves Stamford Bridge. "If, as expected, Didier Drogba leaves Chelsea this summer, his final performance will have summed his time at Stamford Bridge nicely. There were flashes of brilliance, but unfortunately the bad outweighed the good. He has always had a streak of indiscipline and in the end it may well have cost his team the Champions League. Had he taken the fifth penalty and not John Terry, Chelsea would probably have brought the European Cup home with them.


3. Manchester City concluded their post-season tour of Asia with a humiliating 3-1 loss to a South China Invitational XI in Hong Kong, a match that could prove to be Sven-Goran Eriksson's swansong as manager. Dietmar Hamann opened the scoring for City, who were missing numerous first-team regulars, but the hosts levelled before half-time through Giovane Da Silva. The Invitational XI - a select band of Hong Kong players - went ahead three minutes after the interval when Festus Baise struck before Liang Zicheng added a third in the 71st minute. City failed to respond to end their disappointing tour with a second defeat following last Saturday's 3-1 reverse to Thailand Premier All-Stars, a defeat played under the watchful eye of club owner Thaksin Shinawatra.


4. Manchester United have left Moscow after their Champions League victory, with uncertainty still surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo. As he has done consistently for the last year, the 23-year-old winger issued mixed messages about his future plans in the aftermath of what was a rollercoaster night for him in the Luzhniki Stadium. Within minutes of having declared, "I am going to stay - there is no way I'm leaving after this," Ronaldo qualified that commitment with a reminder that "the future ... no one knows."


5. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton turned the tables on Ferrari with the fastest lap in Thursday's Monaco Grand Prix practice. The 23-year-old Briton, runner-up in the Mediterranean principality in a McLaren one-two last year, showed his mastery of the tight and twisty streets with an afternoon lap of one minute 15.140 seconds. His friend and rival Nico Rosberg, also running on the softer tyres, was second quickest in a Williams.
