Celtic Clinches Scottish Premiership With 3-1 Comeback Over Hearts

The win sets Celtic alone as Scotland's most decorated club with a reported 56 league titles.

Overview

  • In Saturday's title decider at Celtic Park, Hearts struck first through Lawrence Shankland in the 43rd minute before Arne Engels leveled from a penalty before the break.
  • Daizen Maeda made it 2-1 in the 88th minute after a video review overturned an on-field offside call.
  • A stoppage-time counter sealed the 3-1 result, though reports differ on the scorer, with Clarín naming Osmand and La Nación crediting Murray.
  • Home supporters poured onto the field before full time in what The Guardian called shameful scenes, and Hearts said players left under escort due to safety concerns.
  • Hearts arrived one point clear needing only a draw after a run-in marred by a 96th-minute Celtic penalty at Motherwell, and the loss extends their decades-long wait as Glasgow’s duopoly endures.
