Celtic stun Hearts at the last in dramatic final-day shootout to retain Scottish title
It was such a shame a Scottish season for the ages had to end this way. It was not even afforded an official final whistle. Celtic were already on the verge of a fifth title in a row as Hearts were counterattacked from a free-kick. With the visiting goalkeeper, Alexander Schwolow, in the wrong half, Celtic’s Callum Osmand had a free run on goal.
TL;DR
- Celtic's title win was overshadowed by pitch invasions and confrontation with Hearts players after their third goal.
- Hearts players left the pitch and did not return, leading to an early, unofficial end to the game.
- Hearts had led for a significant portion of the match after Lawrence Shankland's header.
- Celtic equalized from a penalty before eventually taking the lead late in the game.
- The incident is expected to result in significant repercussions for Celtic.
- This marks Celtic's fifth consecutive title win.
