Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership with a 3-1 victory over Hearts at Celtic Park, sealing the title on the final day. Moments after Callum O'Shaughnessy's goal, a wave of home supporters stormed the pitch, confronting the dejected visitors. Fans celebrated wildly as fireworks lit the sky, while Hearts players and staff were escorted down the tunnel amid growing chaos, prompting immediate safety concerns.

Heart of Midlothian released a statement condemning what it called ‘shameful’ and ‘unacceptable’ scenes, alleging serious physical and verbal abuse toward their squad. The club said the menacing atmosphere forced staff to abandon post‑match duties and exit the stadium still in their kits within twenty minutes of full‑time. Police Scotland have been contacted and Hearts expect firm action from the SPFL.

Former Scotland striker James McFadden and ex‑player Chris Sutton voiced outrage, insisting no player should face assault on the field. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill acknowledged the incident, saying any harassment of Hearts personnel was unacceptable and must be reviewed by officials. The episode casts a shadow over Celtic’s triumph and raises questions about crowd control ahead of next season.
