In Scotland, Rangers won the league title for the first time in a decade after their win over St Mirren was followed by Celtic's 0-0 draw with Dundee United.
Away from the football, England's cricketers lost the fourth Test against India to suffer a 3-1 series defeat, while rugby union's former European champions Saracens lost to Cornish Pirates in their opening game in the Greene King IPA Championship.
