Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership title after a 3‑1 victory over Hearts on the final matchday. The win, secured by late goals, gave the Hoops a two‑point edge over their rivals and ended a 250‑day run at the top that had left fans anxious. Martin O'Neill’s return proved decisive.

Celtic’s season had been riddled with turmoil. A summer of sales—Nicolas Kuhn, Adam Idah, Kyogo—cost the club 73 goals, while key signings failed to materialise. The board’s hesitation in the transfer market sparked fan unrest, setting the stage for O'Neill's brief comeback and a dramatic title run that led to a flurry of home victories.

On the day of the final fixture, O'Neill guided Celtic past Hearts 3‑1, with Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain scoring decisive late strikes. The result left the Hoops two points clear and sealed a championship that marked the end of a long‑standing Old Firm dominance that had begun in 1985 for this season and fans.

Despite the triumph, tensions between supporters and the board linger. Protests over management decisions and financial transparency have continued, with calls for resignations from key executives. O'Neill’s call for unity helped rally the Green Brigade, but the season’s drama underscores the fragile relationship that will shape Celtic’s future in the coming months and season build.
