Aberdeen clinched second place in the Scottish Premiership with 1-0 win over champions Celtic at Parkhead on a crazy final day to the season.
In Edinburgh, Hibernians and Rangers drew 5-5 with Hibs manager Neil Lennon sent off for his celebrations of a late equaliser, ensuring the Dons’ third place.
In front of a packed house in Glasgow, most of whom were celebrating seven successive title wins with the trophy lift to follow the game, a goalless first half ensued, before Andrew Considine scored for the visitors two minutes after the restart.
The Pittodrie side held out for the rest of the game with admirable resolve to register their first league win at Celtic Park in 26 attempts.
Dons defender Shay Logan was shown a straight red card by referee Craig Thomson after the final whistle following a melee and after which he celebrated boisterously in front of the home supporters.
It was Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes' first win over Brendan Rodgers' side in 10 games and was not the end to the league season the Northern Irishman wanted, with a Scottish Cup final against Motherwell at Hampden Park to come next Saturday as they look to clinch an unprecedented successive domestic treble.
Meanwhile at Easter Road, hat-trick hero Jamie Maclaren's stoppage-time equaliser denied Rangers a famous comeback triumph in a breathless 5-5 draw.
Gers looked like they were set to be blown away as Florian Kamberi, Scott Allan and Maclaren put Hibs 3-0 up after a 22-minute first-half blitz.
That left the hosts needing just three more goals to steal third place from the Ibrox men on a final day packed with drama.
But the Light Blues mounted a stunning fightback with strikes from James Tavernier, Jordan Rossiter, Bruno Alves and Jason Holt and Josh Windass and they led 5-3.
However, another Maclaren goal sent Gers' nerves jangling and with Jimmy Nicholl's men down to 10 after seeing Holt sent-off late on, Hibs' on-loan Darmstadt frontman prodded home at the death to the relief of the Hibs faithful.
Gers had to better Aberdeen's result at Celtic Park to claim second spot but it is the Dons who finish runners-up after their win.
Lennon was back in the Hibs dug-out after his midweek threat to quit – but he didn’t stay there as he celebrated the draw by running onto the pitch with his arms outstretched, earning himself a red card.
