Celtic secure their Scottish Premiership title with a late victory over Hearts at Celtic Park, winning 3-1 on the final day. Hearts arrive in Glasgow needing at least a point to create a historic title breakthrough after a long wait, but Celtic score twice in the closing stages to overturn the contest. Multiple outlets report that Daizen Maeda’s late goal is the first turning point, followed by Callum Osmand adding a further strike shortly after to confirm the result. The win means Celtic finish champions again, extending a run that includes a fifth consecutive league title. Reports describe how Celtic were behind for much of the season and how the late goals spark celebrations. One account also notes that after Osmand’s goal, some Celtic supporters enter the pitch, with the referee bringing proceedings to an end during the remaining stoppage time. Hearts are left disappointed as the result denies them the chance to end decades of waiting for a first top-flight title in more than 60 years.
