Last time Celtic or Rangers didn't win Scottish league title: Hearts on precipice of historic championship
Hearts moved four clear with one match left after Frankie Kent and Cammy Devlin scored, while Celtic’s late penalty kept the title race alive.
- On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Hearts defeated Falkirk 3-0 at Tynecastle Park in the Scottish Premiership, maintaining their title lead before over 18,000 supporters.
- Entering the final home match, the leaders knew a win combined with a Celtic loss at Motherwell would clinch their first title in 66 years, a feat last achieved by a non-Old Firm club in 1984/85.
- Frankie Kent opened the scoring with a 29th-minute header, while Cammy Devlin and Blair Spittal netted subsequent goals to seal the result against the visitors.
- Although Celtic secured a last-gasp victory at Motherwell, Hearts remain one point ahead in the league standings, setting up a decisive final-day showdown at Celtic Park on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
- Manager Derek McInnes needs his team to avoid defeat in Glasgow to secure the trophy, while a loss would hand Celtic their fifth consecutive league title.
