Celtic v Hearts title decider not abandoned after pitch invasion – SPFL

The SPFL has confirmed Celtic’s title-clinching victory over Hearts on Saturday was not brought to a premature conclusion, while condemning the pitch invasion that followed the last action of a thrilling and chaotic afternoon.

Fans streamed out of the stands at Celtic Park after Callum Osmand ran clear to make it 3-1 on 98 minutes.

Play did not resume, with eight minutes of stoppage time having been announced at the end of the regulation 90.

Hearts began the day one point in front and took the lead through a Lawrence Shankland header.

Celtic levelled with an Arne Engels penalty on the stroke of half-time, while Daizen Maeda fired the defending champions in front on 87 minutes.

Hearts, who had been chasing a first title since 1960, made the decision to make a hasty exit from the stadium, citing a “menacing and threatening atmosphere”.
