Match Preview

A mouthwatering finale of the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership season takes place at Parkhead, as second-placed Celtic look to steal the title from league leaders Hearts this weekend.

Celtic left it late to sneak past Motherwell, with a 98th minute penalty leading to the Hoops taking all three points from Fir Park. The Bhoys have won their final away league game in three successive seasons for the first time since 1994/95 to 1996/97 and know that a win will deliver a 56th Scottish title to the east end of Glasgow. Anything other than a victory will open the door for their weekend opponents Hearts.

Heart of Midlothian capped off a sensational 2025/26 campaign at Tynecastle Park in midweek, as the Jambos' 3-0 victory over Falkirk meant that they remained undefeated at home throughout the entire Scottish Premiership season. Anything other than a Celtic victory this weekend will see Hearts lift their first Scottish top tier title since 1960, aiming to become the first team to do so outside of Glasgow since Aberdeen in 1984/85.

Celtic could become the first team to win all five post-split Scottish Premiership games and steal the title from Hearts, just as they did 40 years ago in the infamous 1985/86 season.
