Claudio Braga, Hearts’ 26‑year‑old striker, told Sky Sports that confidence in a title run has been simmering since early season. The club sits three points clear of Celtic and one ahead of Rangers, with only four matches left. Claudio Braga's 17‑goal haul makes him the team’s top scorer this campaign.

Braga, a nominee for the PFA Scotland Premiership Player of the Year, said the Jambos have been poised to win Scotland’s first title since 1960. He stressed that winning every remaining game would secure the crown. “We need to stay calm,” he added, citing the crucial home clash against Rangers on May 4.

Braga’s arrival from Norwegian side Aalesunds last summer has already paid dividends. Beyond goals, he has become a rallying figure, saying he never expected a title run but now embraces the challenge. Hearts’ fans and club executives alike are eager to see the club break a 66‑year trophy drought.

The upcoming fixture against Rangers will decide the title’s fate. With Hearts three points ahead, a win would cement their position at the summit. Hearts believes the team’s confidence, built over a season of consistent performances, will carry them through the final stretch to secure the crown.
