Celtic break Hearts to be crowned Scottish Premiership champions

Celtic are the Scottish Premiership champions after beating Hearts in a tense and exciting final match of the season.

Going into the game, Hearts had been one point ahead of second-placed Celtic in the table, meaning that a win or a draw would have been enough for Hearts to win the league.

Celtic needed to win the match, if they were to overtake Hearts at the top, and lift the trophy.

Hearts were on course to become champions until the 87th minute of the game, when two late goals from Celtic meant they took home the title for the fifth year in a row.

Hearts have been top of the table for most of the season, and were hoping to be crowned champions for the first time in 66 years.

And it was the Edinburgh side who made the stronger start.

Hearts went 1-0 up thanks to a header from captain Lawrence Shankland.

However, Celtic managed to equalise through an Arne Engels penalty just before half-time.

A tense second-half followed, with plenty of scoring chances for both sides.

However, it was Celtic who went ahead in dramatic fashion.

With just minutes left on the clock, Daizen Maeda scored for the Glasgow side.

But the goal was only awarded after a VAR review correctly overturned the decision to rule it out.

Callum Osmand then added a third in stoppage time, with the game ending 3-1 to Celtic.

The result means that Celtic go ahead of Rangers in the number of total titles won - with 56.

It's also the fifth year in the row that Celtic have won the league.

Despite being top of the table since September, Hearts continue their wait for a first championship since 1960.
