Celtic secured a dramatic fifth consecutive Scottish Premiership title in controversial fashion, as a stoppage-time winner from Callum Osmand sparked a pitch invasion and left Hearts players fleeing the field before the final whistle.
With the score level at 1-1 and Hearts needing just a point to clinch their first title in 66 years, Celtic broke from a free-kick in the 86th minute. Hearts goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow was caught out of position, allowing Osmand to run through and slot home the decisive goal.
The goal triggered hundreds of Celtic fans to flood the pitch, confronting Hearts players who immediately headed for the tunnel and refused to return. The match was officially abandoned, with Celtic later confirmed as champions. The Scottish Professional Football League is expected to investigate the scenes.
Hearts had led through Lawrence Shankland's first-half header, but Celtic equalised from an Arne Engels penalty after a handball decision. Despite a valiant defensive display, Hearts were ultimately undone by Celtic's relentless pressure in the closing stages.
For Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, the title caps a remarkable turnaround after trailing Hearts for most of the season. The victory sets up a potential domestic double, with the Scottish Cup final to come next weekend.
