Celtic v Hearts LIVE: Result and reaction as Celtic fans invade pitch in chaotic Scottish Premiership title finale – UK Times

Former Scotland forward, James McFadden, on Sky Sports:

“It will take a lot of time for Hearts to get over this, but when they can they have to take a step back.

“They have pushed Celtic all the way and they were so close. It’s a credit to the players and to Derek McInnes.”

The Scottish Premiership trophy is brought out onto the pitch at Celtic Park for the presentation ceremony.

Martin O’Neill has raised a sinking ship from the depths to win it this year.

It’s a remarkable story for him personally.

Here’s a bit of reaction from the players.

Celtic defender Alistair Johnston stopped by Sky Sports and said: “It’s the greatest league win – it must be of all time. Never count us out.

“We just felt like we were going to find a way. Unbelievable.

“[Martin O’Neill] is a winner. Build him a statue, it’s as simple as that. He just finds a way to win.”

Celtic are serial winners and have claimed a 14th top flight title in 15 years.

They earned sevens wins in a row to get to today’s match and still in with a chance before Maeda’s 87th minute goal put them in the driving seat.

Hearts spent 250 days at the top of the table but let is slip in the final minutes of the season.

Former Celtic striker, Chris Sutton, gave his reaction to Sky Sports:

“Martin O’Neill has got the old Honda Civic roaring again.

“Hearts have had a magnificent season, but somehow, magic Martin has found a way.”

The scenes at the end, with fans flooding the pitch, were a shocking way for a great season to end.

The Hearts players have been taken off the pitch, presumably for their own safety.

Derek McInnes said it would be bedlam. This is a disgrace. Celtic fans flood the pitch in their hundreds. Many are abusing the Hearts players.

Lawrence Shankland is surrounded by police, I am not sure if there has been an incident involving the Hearts captain.

After that goal, the Celtic fans flood the pitch in scenes of carnage.

The Hearts players are marshalled away from the pitch and the security staff are called on.

The police send the fans back into the stands and amid all the carnage and bedlam the Celtic players begin to celebrate.

The referee blows the whistle and the celebrations can fully begin.

Celtic have won the Scottish Premiership title in 2025/26.
