Heartbreak for Hearts as Celtic crowned Scottish Premiership champion
GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) --- Celtic won the Scottish Premiership title in
dramatic style on Saturday with two late goals to beat rival Hearts 3-1.
Daizen Maeda struck a crucial goal in the 87th minute at Celtic Park to put
Celtic on course for the win it needed to be crowned champion for the fifth
year in a row.
It was heartbreak for Hearts, which only needed a draw to win the title for the
first time since 1960 and had led through Lawrence Shankland's first half
header.
