Celtic needed the final minutes of the final day of the Scottish Premiership season to finally overtake Hearts in a 1‑vs.‑2 title decider and secure their fifth straight league title on Saturday with a 3-1 win – a crowning achievement, but not without controversy.
Hearts entered Saturday's game at Celtic Park with a one-point lead and seemed on course to maintain that lead with a goal from Lawrence Shankland in the 43rd minute. Just before the halftime break, though, Hearts' Alexandros Kyziridis conceded a penalty and paved the way for Arne Engels to convert and level the score.

The equalizer put the wind in Celtic's sails and they came out as the aggressors in the second half – they took just three shots in the first half but had 11 in the second, outdoing Hearts in attack even as the go-ahead goal eluded both teams for much of the second 45 minutes. The breakthrough finally came in the 87th minute with Daizen Maeda's goal, though it required a check from VAR first. A very tight offside review went in Celtic's favor and gave the hosts the advantage on the table they had chased for much of the season.
