Celtic, Hearts, Daizen Maeda
17 May 2026
Celtic secured the Scottish Premiership title after defeating Hearts 3-1 in a dramatic final-day showdown at Celtic Park. Late goals from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand denied Hearts a historic championship and triggered a chaotic pitch invasion.
Hearts were minutes away from ending decades of Celtic and Rangers dominance before Maeda scored following a VAR review. Thousands of supporters then entered the pitch after Osmand’s stoppage-time goal, causing disorder and forcing Hearts players to leave immediately.
