Overview
- Celtic beat Heart of Midlothian 3-1 on the final day to overturn a one-point gap and clinch the Scottish Premiership.
- Lawrence Shankland scored first before halftime, a VAR-checked penalty leveled it, and late goals from Daizen Maeda and Osmand sealed the result.
- The video assistant referee validated the penalty and confirmed Maeda’s strike after a long review.
- The crown is Celtic’s 56th and fifth in a row, extending a run in which only Glasgow clubs have won the league since 1985.
- A week of debate over calls, including a stoppage-time penalty at Motherwell, set a tense tone that the VAR decisions did nothing to ease.
