CELTIC'S title celebrations were soured by a blazing half-time row between manager Gordon Strachan and midfielder Stilian Petrov.
The Bulgarian was replaced at the interval in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Hibs that was the prelude to the SPL championship trophy being presented to skipper Neil Lennon.
Petrov had come in at the break complaining he would have to come off after injuring an ankle but Strachan, who was furious at his team trailing to a Steven Fletcher goal, launched into a rant at the player.
Petrov's team-mates sat stunned as the player hit back verbally at his manager.
The midfielder, who recently signed a new longterm contract, remained indoors at the break and was replaced by Shaun Maloney.
