Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership on the final day, beating Hearts 3‑1 at Tynecastle. Martin O’Neill’s side needed a win to overtake a Hearts squad that had topped the table for 250 days. Two late strikes from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand secured the triumph and the league title for the Hoops.

The win snapped a 14‑year drought for a title that Celtic had won 13 times in the last 15 seasons. O’Neill, 74, had taken over with the club six points adrift, yet finished two points clear. Maeda’s goal marked his seventh league strike of the month, matching his season tally and kept the title race alive.

Hearts suffered injuries to Beni Baningime and Pierre Landry Kabore, weakening a side that had been on the brink of a historic first non‑Old Firm championship since 1960. Celtic dominated possession, and after a penalty from Arne Engels, the hosts erupted, forcing a late comeback that saw Osmand slot his third into an empty net and secured the title for Celtic.

With the title secured, O’Neill is now a minute away from a domestic double, the Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline set for May 23. The Hoops now lead the all‑time league title count at 56, surpassing Rangers’ 55. Fans celebrated as the stadium walls blurred with the iconic "we shall not be moved" chant and the roar of supporters echoed across the city as Celtic secured their 14th top‑flight crown in 15 seasons, a rare dominance that will shape Scottish football for years to come and history.
