🫢 No shortage of drama in intense Scottish Premiership title decider | OneFootball

The 2025/26 Scottish Premiership title decider between Celtic and Hearts lived up to the billing with an enthralling end to the first half.

Hearts went to Celtic with a two-point advantage at the top of the Premiership and needed just a point to secure the title. 

The match started in a tense fashion, with neither side registering a shot on target in the opening 32 minutes.

However, the all-or-nothing bout came to a head late in the first period when Hearts' captain Lawrence Shankland headed in the opener from a few yards out.

Just six minutes later, Celtic were given a golden opportunity to level after Alexandros Kyziridis' handball inside the Hearts penalty area.

Arne Engles stepped up and converted his spot-kick under Alexander Schwolow, sending Celtic Park into delirium.

An intense final 45 minutes of the Scottish Premiership season await Celtic and Hearts. Who will come out on top?
