Late goals by Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand sparked wild celebrations as Celtic, who trailed Hearts for almost the whole season, won the title for the 14th time in 15 seasons. In a cauldron-like Parkhead atmosphere, the visitors seemed to be on course for glory when Lawrence Shankland headed in from a corner in the 43rd minute.
But Celtic were level before halftime when Alexandros Kyziridis was adjudged by VAR to have blocked a Kieran Tierney cross with his arm and Arne Engels scored from the penalty spot. Celtic piled forward as the final whistle approached and soon after Kelechi Iheanacho hit the post Maeda scored from close range only for the offside flag to go up.
The game ended in chaotic scenes as Osmand ran the ball into an empty goal with virtually the last kick before jubilant Celtic fans streamed on to the pitch.
