Champions Celtic lost 3-1 to Hearts at home before being presented with the Bank of Scotland Premier League trophy captured last week at Kilmarnock.
In a stormy second half at Celtic Park, Kestutis Ivaskevicius and Andrew Driver put the Gorgie side into a two-goal lead within a two-minute period.
Former Jambos skipper Steven Pressley quickly pulled a goal back for the Hoops but a contentious penalty from Michal Pospisil soon after restored the Tynecastle side's cushion.
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan rang the changes for the visit of Hearts on a celebratory afternoon for the new Bank of Scotland Premier League champions.
Defender Stephen McManus returned from suspension to take over from John Kennedy, who was left out, while Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe made his debut at right-back in place of Gary Caldwell, who started on the bench.
Lee Naylor recovered from his ankle injury to take over from Darren O'Dea at left-back, midfielder Aiden McGeady came in for Thomas Gravesen while Jiri Jarosik replaced Derek Riordan in attack.
Hearts were looking for the three points to keep their UEFA Cup hopes alive. Out went defender Lee Wallace and striker Andrius Velicka and in came Jose Goncalves and Saulius Mikoliunas.
Celtic could not find a way past Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon in the first half.
The Hoops had the presentation of the SPL trophy to look forward to after the game but at times could not get out of second gear.
Stephen McManus, Aiden McGeady and Jiri Jarosik all had efforts but failed to break the deadlock.
Hearts midfielder Julien Brellier limped off to be replaced by Tomas Kancelskis, who was fortunate not to concede a penalty moments later after tangling with Paul Hartley as the former Jambos midfielder bore towards goal.
Another snap-shot by Jarosik after 35 minutes interrupted the tedium but Gordon was perfectly placed to gather comfortably.
Moments later Celtic Park came to life momentarily after Vennegoor of Hesselink laid the ball off to McGeady at the edge of the Hearts box.
The Republic of Ireland star beat Gordon with a right-footed shot but the ball skipped inches past the post.
Another McGeady shot from a similar position minutes later was more easily saved by the Scotland goalkeeper.
In a stormy second half at Celtic Park, Kestutis Ivaskevicius and Andrew Driver put the Gorgie side into a two-goal lead within a two-minute period.
Former Jambos skipper Steven Pressley quickly pulled a goal back for the Hoops but a contentious penalty from Michal Pospisil soon after restored the Tynecastle side's cushion.
Celtic's hopes of a comeback received a blow in the 69th minute when Pressley was adjudged, harshly it appeared, to have fouled Kingston in the penalty area, referee Stuart Dougal pointing to the spot.
After a delay to allow Kingston treatment, Jambos striker Michal Pospisil converted the penalty to restore the visitors' two-goal lead.
Strachan was then sent to the stand by Dougal.
As the champions swarmed around Gordon, Kingston blocked a Pressley effort on the line before the veteran Celtic defender came close with an effort from 18 yards out.
The result put something of a dampener on a day that was to be all about Celtic.
