00:00:00We are away at the return on both sides, we're still trying to digest how that first half ended.
00:00:09Simon, every goal can be argued as crucial, but certainly going into a game of this magnitude at half-time,
00:00:16to get that equaliser just right on the stroke at half-time, I mean, that could prove pivotal.
00:00:21Yeah, I think so. I think so, just in the context of the game.
00:00:25The Parcs only needing the point and getting their moses in front of the Shanklin goal.
00:00:30It was a bit of a body blow, so it was good to get back on level terms quite quickly.
00:00:34Gives it a little lift, get into the half-time team talk, and it would have probably changed a little
00:00:40thing.
00:00:42A little bit's in Martin's half-time analysis there, but you just see it again there.
00:00:48I think he always looked at the reaction of the player.
00:00:49He knew.
00:00:50He knew exactly.
00:00:51Yeah.
00:00:51He knew exactly, so.
00:00:53And I think Grante's giving the keeper a little bit of stick here, but I think the power on the
00:00:57penalty with Engels here,
00:01:00that's the back of the net, it's an important equaliser.
00:01:05Well, absolutely vital, he needed to hold his nerve, ball played under.
00:01:11Slow low.
00:01:16So, what does Martin Ayl do in the second half?
00:01:18I think he's going to make a change at the break.
00:01:21I think, I'm not sure if Tenekty's going to reappear for the second half.
00:01:26And just looking for, I mean, down the flanks, down the left flank, we're probably more joy with Keirn Tierney
00:01:30helping Tenekty.
00:01:33Harry Milne's probably had the better than Yang in the first half, actually.
00:01:36Yeah.
00:01:37But I was listening to Grante there in the half-time analysis, I think he's absolutely right.
00:01:41Just a wee bit more pacing the game going forward, and even things just to turn the hearts' defence.
00:01:46Even if you're winning throws or a corner and you're forcing them to get back and try to defend, if
00:01:51it's all in front of them, it kind of suits them in their shape.
00:01:55So, I think that might be a message that they'll look to at half-time to try and come out.
00:01:58Some of the Rangers game last week, they came out a real intensity at the start of that second half
00:02:02and got the two goals.
00:02:03So, hopefully we can mirror that in this start of the second half here, a bit more energy and put
00:02:08some more credit on the back line of hearts.
00:02:11Well, we said in the first half, the first goal was going to be vital, with only 45 minutes of
00:02:18this season remaining.
00:02:19The next one is.
00:02:20It could be next goal's the winner.
00:02:21Yeah, it could be.
00:02:22It could be, and hopefully, from their point of view, there's a hero in green and white, ready to step
00:02:26up again.
00:02:26Well, it could be that man there.
00:02:28He has scored some vital goals this season.
00:02:32So, Kalecci and Achel, normally it's later in the game when he makes his appearance, but he is coming on
00:02:38for the start of the second half.
00:02:40He replaces Tonekki.
00:02:42So, Dyson Maeda will take his place, I think, on the left flank.
00:02:47So, a different challenge for hearts in terms of Dyson's pace on the wing, and a different challenge through the
00:02:53middle with Kalecci and Achel.
00:02:55Yeah.
00:02:56Got a more favoured central striker there that can hold the ball in, that can link, and we've seen him,
00:03:02he's ice cool in that box when he gets the chances.
00:03:07Well, there's been ten games this season where Celtic have scored a goal inside the last ten minutes.
00:03:12In fact, most of them have been inside added time.
00:03:15Kalecci and Achel have been responsible for three of those.
00:03:19A 96-minute penalty at Rugby Park to give us a win.
00:03:22An 82, a 72-minute winner at the knee to give us the win.
00:03:25And, of course, the 99-minute penalty on Wednesday night to set up this title decider.
00:03:33He is the coolest man in the club, I think.
00:03:37He missed out on the penalty in the first half, but thankfully Arne Engels did score.
00:03:43We're underway, 45 minutes remaining before we find out who are the champions of Scotland.
00:03:52Arne Engels knocks that back to the edge of the area.
00:03:54It's hooked clear only as far as Kieran Tierney.
00:03:57Back forward again, looking to try and give Iannaccio his first touch, and Hart's just lumping that one.
00:04:04High into the Celtic half.
00:04:06Boston Trusty, who won most of the headers in that first half, having to deal with this one again.
00:04:11He does so, knocks it into the middle of the park.
00:04:13McGregor works it on.
00:04:14Harry Milne tries to knock it inside to Devlin, but it's hooked across by Engels.
00:04:18To Maeda, Tierney played that one forward, I think he was looking for Maeda to make the run.
00:04:23Steinbinder gets there ahead of Iannaccio, but it's a throw-in to Celtic.
00:04:27Yeah, I think he definitely was trying to find Maeda there, but it's not a bad ball.
00:04:31It gets Celtic out of the park into situations like this.
00:04:34It's not allowed to take it quickly.
00:04:37Well, Hart's are making a very quick change at the start of the second half.
00:04:42It's Frankie Kent, who is going to be replacing.
00:04:47It looks like Jordi Altena.
00:04:49That's a strange decision after 60 seconds, yeah.
00:04:54Unless, well, are they going five at the back?
00:04:58Or is it three, five, two, and Kingley's moved over to the left?
00:05:02Yeah, I think so.
00:05:04Harry Milne over to the right-hand side to try and combat the pace of Maeda.
00:05:10Celtic on the front foot again in these early stages of the second half.
00:05:15So one change apiece here.
00:05:20Iannaccio now faced with the challenge of Stephen Kingsley.
00:05:24On Pully's favoured left-hand side.
00:05:27The ball all the way back to Sinisalo.
00:05:29Works it across, scales, has space, has time, has Tierney ahead of him.
00:05:35Rows it into the middle of the park and stays to his captain.
00:05:39Negrun's dropped shot.
00:05:43So Kent partly now Steinbender.
00:05:47And he gets his first touch.
00:05:50Finley just to the left of him.
00:05:52So, certainly when Hartstone have the ball, they're going to a five at the back.
00:05:57Yeah, they're just going to try and keep that in shape.
00:05:59As I say, it's important that Celtic keep trying to probe and put a bit of pressure on the back
00:06:04line.
00:06:05Going in front of them will be comfortable for Hartz.
00:06:12Trusty forward now to Maida.
00:06:14Back again to Trusty.
00:06:16He's probably had more touches on the ball than any player in the game so far.
00:06:19Yeah, he has.
00:06:20They've just made it difficult to leave him on the ball and try and limit his options.
00:06:25Wonderful touch and skill from Iannaccio.
00:06:28Force onto the right-hand side.
00:06:29I mean, Beninghamy's gone down.
00:06:35Celtic players urging Iannaccio on, Iannaccio stops.
00:06:39Beninghamy's just collapsed there.
00:06:42Yeah, I'm not sure what happened.
00:06:43He's obviously...
00:06:47Well, I hope...
00:06:48I mean, in a way, you hope it's a leg injury because...
00:06:51Yeah, he just went to the ground.
00:06:52You just see it fall down there.
00:06:54Yeah, you see it again here.
00:06:55He's trying to come across.
00:06:58Oh, he's...
00:06:59His hamstring's gone.
00:07:00His hamstring.
00:07:01Yeah, because when he goes down like that, you're hoping that it's just a normal injury.
00:07:05Yeah, you're a little bit concerned.
00:07:06Yeah, it's definitely...
00:07:07He's not going to play any further apart in this game.
00:07:10It's the hamstring.
00:07:11So Hartz will have to make another change early in the second half.
00:07:19Well...
00:07:19I would...
00:07:20I mean, I suppose it's a...
00:07:23Do you commend Ian Urchel for his sportsmanship and stop the player?
00:07:26Do you wish he'd just kept going?
00:07:28I would have kept going.
00:07:30So would you.
00:07:31Possibly.
00:07:32The importance of getting another goal.
00:07:35But yeah, thanks for that.
00:07:37Because there was a bit of concern there just the way he went down,
00:07:39but it's a hamstring injury.
00:07:41It looks as if it's going to be Blair Spittel who is going to come on.
00:07:45There's another player who's played a key role for Hartz
00:07:48and the split scored a vital goal in the Edinburgh Derby.
00:07:58And also helped change the game at Tencastle against Rangers.
00:08:16Well...
00:08:18I'm not sure if he is a player who's going to be it.
00:08:21Tencastle will be on this season, so that could be the last we see of him in a Hartz jersey.
00:08:27He will be replaced by Blair Spittel.
00:08:30And so Celtic will have the ball back.
00:08:36It's a funny one because he wasn't running at any real pace either, you know,
00:08:39sometimes with that sort of injury, you're stretching.
00:08:44It's obviously just a weakness.
00:08:46Well, what this also does is it ensures that we're going to get plenty of added time on at the
00:08:51end of the game,
00:08:51which is either going to be a help or a hindrance.
00:08:54Yes, I really hope we don't need it.
00:09:09So Spittel comes on, Celtic will have the ball.
00:09:17And every Hartz player behind the ball.
00:09:22Celtic fans trying to roar the team on.
00:09:25Can they get their noses in front in this game?
00:09:29Remember, they were trailing to a Lauren Shank and goal before Arne Engels brought them level
00:09:34and added time at the end of the first half.
00:09:45Yeah, he moves inside, has to play it back to Trusty again.
00:09:49You know, the game almost starting to develop a similar pattern to the first half.
00:09:54If anything, Hartz have got even more of a defensive shape.
00:09:58But again, as they showed in the first half, they are dangerous, particularly at set pieces,
00:10:02but it's Celtic in front on the front foot with Trusty.
00:10:06He's got Johnson out wide on his right.
00:10:09Trusty plays it through to Negrin, Negrin tries to flick it onto the path of Yang.
00:10:13Smothered on the edge of the six-yard box by the Hartz goalkeeper.
00:10:17Yeah, he's given loads of time there and you can hear the crowd get frustrated,
00:10:21but he picks out Negrin really well there.
00:10:23And then just that little kind of exchange between him and Yang needs to be tidier.
00:10:27They've found him in a good area just at the edge of the box.
00:10:33Johnson plays it down the line, looking for the willing run of Negrin.
00:10:39And they force the player that went out, and Celtic have the throw-in.
00:10:44Ian Hatchel was looking for the quick throw-in.
00:10:49Instead, it's Johnson, cuts inside, gives it to Ian Hatchel.
00:10:54Ian Hatchel moves onto his left foot, checks back onto his right.
00:10:57Still Ian Hatchel tries to knock it through, looking for Arnie Engels.
00:11:03He just certainly gives you something different up front, doesn't he?
00:11:06He does, he does, and I don't mind that either, because he's positive there.
00:11:09He comes back in, takes the responsibility, and he's trying to frizz one into Engels here.
00:11:19Johnson wins the header, because he's on the left wing now.
00:11:23He'll certainly be looking to try and make amends for that handball.
00:11:26You saw his reaction, he stayed on the ground.
00:11:28He was blatantly trying to protest to the referee.
00:11:31As Kabori dispossesses Callum McGregor.
00:11:35Well, it certainly looked like a real classic fall-down,
00:11:39but not only has Kabori won a free kick, but he's earned Benjamin Negrin.
00:11:44Yeah, he's just...
00:11:46That's not a foul.
00:11:48It's not much, is it?
00:11:49Negrin yellow-carded.
00:11:53He's just picked Callum's pocket on that far side,
00:11:55and this is a dangerous situation here.
00:11:58Well, we just spoke about Hearts, although they might look to play defensively on set-pieces.
00:12:04They are dangerous, and this is a very dangerous set-piece.
00:12:09The Celtic will have to defend a two-man wall.
00:12:15So Hearts trying to play...
00:12:18Two-man wall, they've got two men on the edge of the box as well.
00:12:20Back in, Kisiridis is there, Kingsley's there,
00:12:24looking to try and restore the lead.
00:12:26But Kisiridis floats out one to the back post and over the bar.
00:12:31A wasted opportunity, I think.
00:12:33Always going to be a difficult score from that angle.
00:12:35Yeah, thankfully for us, it's well over the bar.
00:12:38I just thought that the two men on the edge of the box, they might opt to use them.
00:12:55I think the tension is only going to increase here at Celtic Park the longer this game goes on.
00:13:01And remember, Celtic need another goal.
00:13:03They've gone just over nine minutes of the second half.
00:13:06There'll be plenty of added time on, of course, for that injury to Beningame.
00:13:14But as it stands, Celtic need the win.
00:13:18Hearts only need to avoid defeat.
00:13:21There's still plenty of time to go.
00:13:22We know this Celtic team, as we have done so often this season, will keep going.
00:13:27We have grabbed so many late winners and in some respects it will be fitting.
00:13:31If that was how we won the league, although I'm not sure if you and I, Simon, can handle that.
00:13:35As the ball's played over the top, looking for Yang.
00:13:37He's into the box.
00:13:40It breaks back to Johnson.
00:13:42Fires it across and it goes out.
00:13:44Blocked, it's a corner kick.
00:13:45First corner of the second half to Celtic.
00:13:47Yeah, and again, it's just a ball down the side here that turns Hearts.
00:13:50Granted, he was talking about it at half-time.
00:13:52Gets them running back towards their own goal.
00:13:54It breaks back to Johnson.
00:13:56The block's in there, another corner.
00:13:58There's a Hearts player down.
00:14:00It puts pressure on them.
00:14:02Come back to their own goal, forcing them to defend.
00:14:05I'm not sure if just the way Alistair Johnson's landed on Stephen Kingsley.
00:14:11Yeah, I think he's caught in his boot there.
00:14:13Accidental.
00:14:14He's back on his feet.
00:14:16Celtic have the opportunity.
00:14:18Kieran Tierney.
00:14:19No, I know Peter Grant is always keen to see Kieran Tierney take these corner kicks
00:14:23because he has got an excellent delivery with his left foot.
00:14:26Yeah, and swinger as well.
00:14:30Can Celtic get the goal.
00:14:32Tierney delivers this one into the box.
00:14:33It's headed clear, only as far as Callum McGregor.
00:14:36Knocks it back across, looking for Scales.
00:14:39Scales being wrestled by Milne.
00:14:41Two Hearts players around them.
00:14:42The Irishman does well.
00:14:44Wins Celtic a corner kick.
00:14:45Good play, Liam Scales.
00:14:46Yeah, he does brilliantly.
00:14:48It's bouncing about at an awkward height at first.
00:14:50Two men on him.
00:14:51Wins the corner.
00:14:53Taken quickly by McGregor.
00:14:54McGregor delivers it into the box, looking for a Celtic head.
00:14:56Negrin plays it across.
00:14:58Trusty.
00:14:58Oh, looks like another handball there.
00:15:01Celtic claiming for the hand.
00:15:06I don't think the Celtic players really can't see that again in real time, but the play continues.
00:15:17Callum McGregor all the way back to Sinisalo.
00:15:21Celtic pushing forward.
00:15:24Trusty out wide to Negrin.
00:15:26Johnson starts to make the run.
00:15:27Negrin cuts inside onto his favoured left foot.
00:15:34Yeah, an option on the wide right.
00:15:37Trusty.
00:15:39Shanklin tries to play over the top, looking for Kabori.
00:15:42Kabori racing through.
00:15:43Sinisalo gets there first.
00:15:46Engels manages to clear the ball.
00:15:49And it's Hearts having to defend now.
00:15:52Engels has stayed down.
00:15:53There's a Hearts player down as well.
00:15:59Cammy Devlin knocks out of her play.
00:16:03So I think Trusty could well be...
00:16:05Yeah, I think Trusty caught him.
00:16:08Shanklin has been got away with the challenger on Engels.
00:16:10Yeah, on Engels, yeah.
00:16:12Engels is still down on the edge of the D.
00:16:16So I think the Hearts captain may be fortunate to escape a yellow card,
00:16:20but Celtic's American defender hasn't.
00:16:23So three yellow cards for Celtic now.
00:16:25Johnson, Negrin and Trusty.
00:16:28Yeah, he's just slacked with the initial pass.
00:16:32I mean, we're lucky that Shanklin just slightly overhit that ball,
00:16:35because otherwise Kabori...
00:16:36Kabori's through, yeah.
00:16:37Sinisalo reads the situation.
00:16:42It comes from the trusted pass at the beginning, though.
00:16:44It gets caught out.
00:17:01Once again, the Celtic fans and fine boys are looking to give the team a boost.
00:17:09They're just looking for that one opportunity.
00:17:25Kisaridi's still getting treatment.
00:17:27He will be able to remain in the park, of course, because Trusty was yellow carded for the challenge.
00:17:31The referee did the right thing, actually, in playing the advantage, but, as I say, thankfully...
00:17:36He was just slightly overhit, because also, I mean, if it had been a 50-50, Sinisalo has to time
00:17:41his challenge of perfection, but he read it very well.
00:17:43Yeah, it was just ever so slightly in his favour, thankfully, from Celtic perspective.
00:17:52Celtic on the ball.
00:17:55Arne Engels, thankfully, back on his feet.
00:17:57Gives it back inside to Scales.
00:18:00Across now to Austin Trusty again.
00:18:04Johnson nudges it forward.
00:18:07The ball comes off the corner flag.
00:18:10I think Celtic should have their third corner of the second half, so, certainly, Celtic will be on the front
00:18:15foot at the start of this second half.
00:18:16Yeah, forcing the issue again, just straight forward.
00:18:19Wide play from Young there, trying to get the cross in.
00:18:22And in the corner, can we get on the end of one of these?
00:18:25An hour almost gone in Celtic Park.
00:18:30Celtic looking for the goal that would put them in front.
00:18:33Kieran Tierney with his second corner to deliver this one.
00:18:37Fires it to the far post, but it's comfortably caught in the end.
00:18:40Off by the Harts goalkeeper.
00:18:43Yeah, as you say, quite comfortable for the goalie there.
00:18:47Seen it all the way.
00:18:48Straight forward catch.
00:18:55Launched high.
00:18:56Scales watches that one.
00:18:58Challenges with Kabori.
00:19:00Ball knocked through.
00:19:01Shankland clips it into the box.
00:19:03Scales manages to get a touch on it.
00:19:05It was a timely intervention.
00:19:07It is a corner.
00:19:08But thankfully, he got a touch, otherwise Kabori was through on goal.
00:19:11Yeah, it's good proof.
00:19:12Shankland, he's well aware of where his strike partner is there.
00:19:16Just trying to reverse it back into his path.
00:19:19Scales reads it.
00:19:20Well, you would imagine that you'd like to hope that Lawrence Shankland will be the man who's marked at this
00:19:25corner kick because we know how dangerous he is.
00:19:27Yeah, he's taken up that similar area at the back post from where he scored.
00:19:30Any actuals on him this time?
00:19:33Kingsley with the corner and then swing up into a packed Celtic penalty area.
00:19:42Delivers that one to the far post again.
00:19:44It misses everyone.
00:19:46Goes behind for a goal kick and Celtic look as if they are going to make another change.
00:19:51Just waiting to see.
00:19:53It looks as if it could be James Forrest for Yang.
00:20:01Well, a player who knows a thing or two about winning league titles.
00:20:06And again, a good player to be able to bring on in a game like this.
00:20:11Yeah, he's done it all before.
00:20:14Many, many times.
00:20:16If we're looking for a hero, he'd be a perfect one.
00:20:21I saw that combination of Forrest and Iheanacho at Hamden in the semi-final against St Mirren.
00:20:26And James Forrest just needs that half-yard beyond Kingsley and he'll deliver it into the box.
00:20:30And we've got the target man in the area.
00:20:35And here he comes already, James Forrest.
00:20:38Down that right flank.
00:20:40Cuts it inside to Negrin.
00:20:41Negrin into the box.
00:20:43Tries to knock it forward.
00:20:44Alistair Johnson had checked his run.
00:20:49And the ball goes behind for a goal kick.
00:20:53Yeah, it's a great introduction from James Forrest.
00:20:55Plays it nicely into the path of Negrin.
00:20:59He's usually, we've seen so much composure from him when he's into those areas.
00:21:02I actually just want to see him just have a shot there.
00:21:05Yeah, yeah.
00:21:06He tries to be cute with it and play it into the Johnston.
00:21:16Shankland knocks out one on Kibori again.
00:21:18Races forward.
00:21:19Once more, Sinisalo.
00:21:21Well, he's having to act always as a sweeper, but has to be so alert.
00:21:25And again, I had to time that to perfection.
00:21:27Yeah, and it's good play with Shankland again.
00:21:31You just be very careful with him, experienced campaigner in there.
00:21:35Callum McGregor gets past Devlin, gets past Milne.
00:21:38Dries forward, slides it down the line, looking for Maida.
00:21:41Up against Steinbender.
00:21:42Maida cuts it across.
00:21:44Fires it to the far post.
00:21:45There's no one there.
00:21:46And it'll go out for a heart's throwing.
00:21:52Good, determined play there from Callum McGregor.
00:21:55Yeah.
00:21:56Great run forward from the skipper.
00:21:58Up.
00:22:19Iheanacho takes that ball on, but Devlin manages to nick it off his toes.
00:22:22And again, Frollo taking no chances at all, just launches it long.
00:22:27Once more, Trusty just watches that one.
00:22:29He's been very powerful in there this afternoon.
00:22:32But Harps have the ball on that left-hand side.
00:22:36Kizaridi's taken off his toes by Johnson.
00:22:39Kibori's stayed down.
00:22:40I'm sure at some point, Callum McGregor looks at if he could be introduced.
00:22:45Horace knocks it through towards Iheanacho.
00:22:47Nudged off the ball.
00:22:48He's won his side a pre-kick.
00:22:50Kibori comes back on.
00:22:52Now Claudio Braga.
00:22:54He is a dangerous forward, and he is going to come on.
00:22:58But Celtic have the ball.
00:23:00Tierney.
00:23:02Back again to scales.
00:23:05Well, Braga just gives Celtic a different challenge.
00:23:09Yeah.
00:23:10He's been a fantastic player this season for Harps.
00:23:14You'd find the best part of half an hour still to play.
00:23:19Another one we'll need to keep our eye on.
00:23:28Trusty again.
00:23:30Harps happy to let him have the ball, but he gives it to Engels.
00:23:33Engels slides it out way to Johnson.
00:23:35Celtic edging up towards the edge of the area.
00:23:37Still Johnson gets beyond his man.
00:23:39Trusty again tries to cut it back, but Harps clear the ball up to the halfway line again.
00:23:45Trusty watches that one, nudges it back, but it's Harps with her captain, Shantland.
00:23:52But Callum McGregor steps in front of Devlin, and Celtic have the ball back.
00:23:57They're certainly on the front foot.
00:23:59Once more with Trusty.
00:24:01Moves forward.
00:24:03Looking for Ian Achill, tries to turn beyond Devlin.
00:24:06Does well.
00:24:08Tierney.
00:24:09Fires it across to the far side.
00:24:11Kingsley.
00:24:12Chess out and heads it out.
00:24:14Corner kicks Celtic.
00:24:15Yeah, good play for Mignac.
00:24:16Strong play.
00:24:17Holds the ball in, secures possession.
00:24:20Off to his skipper.
00:24:22Then Tierney just putting one in.
00:24:24Some hearts to defend it again.
00:24:26Quick corner.
00:24:27Tierney fires it into the box.
00:24:29Looking for a Celtic heads.
00:24:30Maeda just couldn't keep that header down.
00:24:33That was quick thinking from James Forrest and Kierne Tierney.
00:24:35Yeah, quick corner.
00:24:36And it's a decent ball in.
00:24:39Maeda taking up some of the position to where Shantland scored from.
00:24:42Just can't redirect it on target.
00:24:48Well, there's a Harps player down.
00:24:51Does look as if it is Kabori, who is going to be getting replaced by Claudio Braggart.
00:25:01So, the Portuguese winger.
00:25:03Maybe a lot of people would have been surprised he didn't start today.
00:25:06But certainly, you know, we spoke about the importance of the bench for both sides.
00:25:10And that's certainly, from a Harps perspective, an important decision to bring him on.
00:25:14Yeah, he's been one of the best players this season.
00:25:18The player of the year award.
00:25:20A good one from their point of view to bring on.
00:25:23I think Kabori's got problems at certain times.
00:25:26Showed a little bit of aggression up there.
00:25:29But I guess it's a different player altogether.
00:25:32Kizaridis has also been replaced by Alan Forrest.
00:25:35And we also have Chesnikov, who is going to replace Harry Milne.
00:25:41So, three changes for Derek McInnes' side.
00:25:44As things stand, they have the point that they would need to become champions.
00:25:51But they know that the next 25 to 30 minutes, there's going to be a lot of Celtic pressure.
00:26:04So, before his brothers line up against each other, one of them will be celebrating this afternoon.
00:26:10The other one will be dejected.
00:26:18Cholot launches that one long again, Shankland comes off the head of Scales.
00:26:24Negrin's first to react, Devlin nudges that one down, looking for Chesnikov.
00:26:27Keeps that one in play, skips past two challenges, drives towards the edge of the area.
00:26:32Goes beyond Scales, he's into the area, plays it back and is blocked by Trusty.
00:26:37Well, that was wing play of the highest quality there from the heart substitute.
00:26:42But Austin Trusty was in the right place to block that.
00:26:46It had to be.
00:26:47It was great play.
00:26:48Just on the part.
00:26:49He's waltzed by two or three players, gets into a position here.
00:26:54Frank for Celtic Trusty's position perfectly in the near post.
00:26:58Wasn't too many options for him.
00:27:02This is going to be a long throw in from Blair Spittel to the Celtic penalty area.
00:27:08It's back to Spittel and it's out of play.
00:27:10And Hearts suddenly finding themselves deep in Celtic territory where they've had to defend in their own half for much
00:27:16of this second half.
00:27:17But it's Celtic, everyone bar Kalecci, Iheanacho back defending as the ball's launched again into the area.
00:27:24It's nudged on.
00:27:27Chesnikov tries to knock that one forward.
00:27:29Maida gets there ahead of Alan Forrest, plays it up towards Iheanacho.
00:27:34He flicks it on, but Steinbender read that one well.
00:27:37But again, you see the quality of Iheanacho.
00:27:41It's a great little idea.
00:27:42It's a great little idea just to try and take it in the one movement.
00:27:48Just didn't have the pace to get away from the defender.
00:27:52Claudia Braga gets his first touch, tries to hold off Arne Engels.
00:27:58Devlin nudges it through.
00:28:00Braga took his eye off the ball there, he knew Engels was right on him.
00:28:07Chesnikov has started this game strongly down this right-hand side, so he's a player Celtic going to have to
00:28:12watch.
00:28:20Oh, the ball's staying in play.
00:28:23Negrin takes the ball off the toes.
00:28:26Spittle.
00:28:29It's out wide now to Forrest.
00:28:30Forrest on this right-hand side up against Kingsley.
00:28:32They can cut inside, which he does.
00:28:34Still James Forrest takes the shot.
00:28:35It's low, it's blocked.
00:28:39And it's Hartz.
00:28:41Spittle.
00:28:41Stips past his mind.
00:28:44It's knocked over to the right-hand side.
00:28:45And it's out for a throw in to Hartz, just in front of Mark O'Neill.
00:28:54Well, we just saw Sean Maloney come out there, just to get a thumbs up from Kieran Tierney.
00:28:58Yeah, just checking Kieran's okay.
00:29:0320 minutes plus added time remaining.
00:29:08Celtic need another goal in order to become champions.
00:29:12They also need to stay strong at the back as well.
00:29:32Do the players feel the tension, or are they just focused on what they have to do as their job?
00:29:38I think you're focused.
00:29:39I think when you're in that situation out there on the pitch.
00:29:45It's just a focus to try and get that second goal.
00:29:49The ball knocked up to the edge of the area.
00:29:51Tierney read it well, but Devlin picks that ball up.
00:29:55Gives it to Chesnikov.
00:29:56Couldn't keep that one in play this time.
00:29:58Tierney does well.
00:29:59I saw Soracchi being called back, so I think Kieran Tierney may be coming off soon.
00:30:04So Soracchi certainly gives Celtic energy down that left-hand side,
00:30:08but he will face a challenge when Hartz have the ball.
00:30:11So you're a glion about to come on.
00:30:14It looks as if Callum Osmond could well be coming on.
00:30:18Could be obviously the reason why Martin Lill put him back in the squad this afternoon,
00:30:21because we need a goal, so we need to just put someone else up front.
00:30:29Are they liable to go too up front then?
00:30:31Yeah, possibly, he's got pace to burn as well as we've seen.
00:30:34Obviously took that serious injury that's curtailed his season.
00:30:39What a time to come back in.
00:30:47It's the Celtic about to make a double change.
00:30:51So Callum Osmond is coming on.
00:30:57And he will replace, is that Austin Trustee?
00:31:10Three at the back.
00:31:15The players are indicating maybe three.
00:31:26He's passed a note to the skipper.
00:31:29Well, it does look as if it could be a three.
00:31:38Johnson scales in Sirachie as the back three.
00:31:42We need the linebacks of Forrest and Maida to help.
00:31:44Negan and Engels in the midfield.
00:31:46Osmond and Ianacho up front.
00:31:50Sirachie does well there.
00:32:00The ball knocked back to the edge of the area.
00:32:02Johnson challenged for that one.
00:32:05Sirachie ushers it back to Sinisalo.
00:32:08Plays it left-footed up towards Ianacho.
00:32:10Does well to turn.
00:32:12Plays it forward to Osmond.
00:32:14His first touch.
00:32:15Could this be the dream start?
00:32:17He's challenged.
00:32:17And it's smothered by the goalkeeper.
00:32:21Well, the pace that Celtic have up front now with Osmond and Maida.
00:32:26Hearts know that they can't commit to many men forward.
00:32:31He's just on the part and the excitement there.
00:32:33Just into this position early.
00:32:35Just takes a heavy touch.
00:32:36I think the option's Maida on the left.
00:32:38Brilliant play from Ianacho initially.
00:32:41On the turn to slot the kid away.
00:32:45That is a great header back there from Lyon Scales with Lorne Shanklin looking.
00:32:59Johnson floats that one forward.
00:33:02Headed back by Kent.
00:33:04Meagran on this right-hand side.
00:33:07Knocks it through towards Forrest.
00:33:09Forrest has to check back.
00:33:11Wins the throw in.
00:33:14Just over 15 minutes.
00:33:16We'd expect four or five added minutes.
00:33:19At least.
00:33:20At least.
00:33:20I was about to say that.
00:33:21At least.
00:33:22At the very least.
00:33:23Ianacho has the ball.
00:33:24He's got some ratchets left.
00:33:26Rolls it to the Uruguayan.
00:33:28He goes wide.
00:33:32He takes a touch off a Hearts player.
00:33:35And Celtic have a corner kick.
00:33:43Just looking for one really good delivery here.
00:33:46Somebody on the end of this cross.
00:33:50And the angles.
00:33:51Celtic's fifth corner of the second half.
00:33:59Every Hearts player back defending.
00:34:01Engels knocks it to the far post.
00:34:03Looking for Ianacho.
00:34:04He heads it in there.
00:34:06The two Forrest brothers challenging.
00:34:08Frankie Kent gets a touch on it.
00:34:10Schwaller keeps that in play.
00:34:13The actual claiming for the corner kick.
00:34:15The German goalkeeper has the ball.
00:34:19Well, this is a tense time for both sides.
00:34:21It really is.
00:34:22Next goal is the winner, Simon.
00:34:24It's incredible.
00:34:26It's the finish that we didn't want.
00:34:27We wanted an easier afternoon.
00:34:29But for the neutral.
00:34:31Here comes Celtic with Negrin.
00:34:33Rolls it through to Maeda.
00:34:35Plays it across.
00:34:36Negrin!
00:34:37Oh, he scuffed his shot.
00:34:39Engels follows up.
00:34:40Goes down.
00:34:40Surely a free kick.
00:34:42Well, there's a yellow card.
00:34:43It's a dangerous position.
00:34:44Cami Devlin gets the yellow card.
00:34:46Well, when that ball fell to Negrin, you thought,
00:34:48surely it's going to be goal number 22.
00:34:51How many times have we seen him dispatch it this season?
00:34:53Just from that kind of...
00:34:55Just getting into a dangerous area.
00:34:57Yeah, he scuffs it, as you say.
00:34:58Doesn't get any power on it.
00:34:59Can't get out of his feet.
00:35:01Engels is on to the rebound quickly.
00:35:05This is a great chance here, though.
00:35:07Benjamin Negrin scored a wonderful free kick
00:35:09against Hearts at Tyne Castle
00:35:12back on the 25th of January.
00:35:19It looks as if it's going to...
00:35:20Well, Ian Atchall's there as well.
00:35:22Engels is there.
00:35:24Who is going to take this one?
00:35:28Engels has the ball.
00:35:30It's a five-man...
00:35:34Hearts ball.
00:35:37In fact, it's six now.
00:35:39Shawl is still on his right-hand post,
00:35:41just lining up the wall.
00:35:44This is a real opportunity.
00:35:4777 minutes on the clock.
00:35:53Engels, Negrin, one of these players
00:35:57is going to take this set-piece.
00:35:59Engels already with a goal to his name.
00:36:01I think Engels might be the one.
00:36:03Just for the way Celtic have set up
00:36:05a three-man wall on that side.
00:36:08Tell, tell.
00:36:11Could this be the decisive moment
00:36:14in the title?
00:36:18Celtic Park, hushed.
00:36:20Engels.
00:36:21Oh, just wide of the target.
00:36:24Up and over,
00:36:25but wide.
00:36:29Oh, it was just not troubling Swolo.
00:36:32No, it wasn't.
00:36:34I thought he'd actually go for Tower
00:36:35to the far side
00:36:36with the three-man wall
00:36:37that had been put up
00:36:38as a decoy there.
00:36:39Let's try to reverse it.
00:36:43Well, the Celtic fans
00:36:45are sticking with the team.
00:36:46They know that they can make a difference
00:36:47trying to roll the team on.
00:36:49It's tense on the dugout.
00:36:50It's tense in the commentary position.
00:36:52It's tense around the Celtic world.
00:36:5412 minutes plus added time
00:36:56and Celtic still need a goal
00:36:58and order to win.
00:37:00But here come Hearts
00:37:01into the box with Forrest
00:37:02into the arms of Sinisalo.
00:37:10Goal to Callum McGregor.
00:37:14Celtic playing with three at the back.
00:37:16Johnson scales and Sirachi,
00:37:18but here comes Negrin,
00:37:20nudges that forward.
00:37:21Osman cuts it inside.
00:37:23Looking for Iheanacho!
00:37:24Oh, he's off the post!
00:37:26He steps inside his man!
00:37:28The post comes to the rescue,
00:37:30but danger not yet averted.
00:37:33Sirachi.
00:37:35Curls it into the box.
00:37:36It's a diving header clear.
00:37:38McGregor picks up the loose ball.
00:37:40Celtic knocking on the door.
00:37:42It couldn't have been closer.
00:37:44Iheanacho, wonderful technique.
00:37:46Denied with the post.
00:37:47Oh, it really was.
00:37:48Super striker play.
00:37:50It deserved a finish.
00:37:55He's on the ball again.
00:37:56He could be the match winner.
00:37:58So close to it,
00:37:59the way he stepped inside his man there.
00:38:01Side-footed it beyond Swallow,
00:38:03but it can back off the post.
00:38:05Celtic so close,
00:38:07but here they come again.
00:38:08Sirachi on the ball,
00:38:10there's plenty of bodies in the box.
00:38:11It's flicked back.
00:38:13Oh, it's tipped over the bar!
00:38:14Celtic knocking on the door,
00:38:16Negrin with the chance.
00:38:18Fantastic football.
00:38:19I think it was Osnabrini,
00:38:20the little flip.
00:38:22Negrin tried to sweep it
00:38:24into the top corner.
00:38:26Taken quickly.
00:38:26Johnson plays it through.
00:38:30Well, it's gone behind for a goal kick.
00:38:35Well, that's two chances that Celtic have come agonisingly close.
00:38:40Yeah, really good football again.
00:38:42Here's Ian Achel's one.
00:38:43This one,
00:38:43he just steps away in one movement.
00:38:45The touch is brilliant.
00:38:47And the finish is almost there.
00:38:49Just the outside of the post.
00:38:52Fantastic football
00:38:52from the striker.
00:38:55There they go done for change
00:38:57as you Osnabrini and Negrin
00:38:58and Kiefer pulls off
00:38:59a fantastic save.
00:39:00Here it is here.
00:39:01Tries to sweep it into the corner.
00:39:13Maida knocks it through.
00:39:14Looking for the return.
00:39:16Scoop clear by Finlay.
00:39:18Headed on.
00:39:19Braga peels off to that left-hand side.
00:39:21Up against Johnson.
00:39:23Still Braga.
00:39:26Battling for that ball.
00:39:27Forrest does well.
00:39:28Skips past his brother.
00:39:31Wins the throw in.
00:39:32And that's where James Forrest's experience
00:39:34comes to the fore.
00:39:37Yeah, just a cool head.
00:39:39As we get into the
00:39:42last 10-15 minutes.
00:39:44It's cool heads that are needed.
00:39:46Well, 81 minutes on the clock.
00:39:48We'll see how many minutes
00:39:50Don Robertson will add on.
00:39:52There has been all the changes,
00:39:53of course,
00:39:54there was treatment for
00:39:56Kisarides,
00:39:57there was treatment for
00:39:57Beningame.
00:40:02Forrest
00:40:03cuts inside.
00:40:05Plays that across.
00:40:06Sirachi's got space,
00:40:07he's got Maida wide
00:40:08on the left-hand side.
00:40:09Celtic on the attack again.
00:40:11Sirachi plays it to Maida.
00:40:12He's into the box.
00:40:13Still Maida.
00:40:14Oh,
00:40:15the header goes wide.
00:40:17There's a chance.
00:40:19Well,
00:40:19I think the offside flag
00:40:20might have been up there.
00:40:21Flag's up,
00:40:21yeah, flag's up.
00:40:23He's chopped back in there,
00:40:24Maida.
00:40:25It's always been again
00:40:26with the header.
00:40:32Oh, the goalkeeper was diving to anticipate.
00:40:37Yeah, he was just offside.
00:40:39Just kept offside.
00:40:46The tension here
00:40:48is unbearable.
00:40:51But the Celtic team
00:40:52will just keep going.
00:40:54They have scored
00:40:55so many late goals
00:40:57to win games.
00:41:00But
00:41:00this would be the best of them all
00:41:03if this late goal
00:41:04could win the title.
00:41:10Oh, Gregor.
00:41:11Sirachi just knocks that one high.
00:41:14Looking for Iheanacho.
00:41:18Devlin.
00:41:19Earl Harts.
00:41:21There's a sense of panic.
00:41:23Really
00:41:25trying to weather this storm
00:41:27because they are really
00:41:28hanging on now.
00:41:29Yeah, they are.
00:41:30They are.
00:41:32Celtic are getting close up.
00:41:34Hitting the woodwork.
00:41:36Still looking for that
00:41:37all-important second goal.
00:41:42Celtic have thrown
00:41:43caution to the wind.
00:41:44They have
00:41:45Johnson Scales
00:41:46and Sirachi
00:41:46as the
00:41:47back three.
00:41:48They've got two men up front.
00:41:50In fact,
00:41:51it's almost like a four-man
00:41:52forward line
00:41:53with Negan
00:41:53and the Maida
00:41:53there as well.
00:41:55Somebody needs to score the goal.
00:41:57The ball played forward
00:41:58looking for
00:41:59Shankland.
00:42:00Iheanacho
00:42:01tries to cushion that header on.
00:42:03Devlin again
00:42:03just wins that one.
00:42:04Sarachi
00:42:05knocks it back.
00:42:06Maida
00:42:06clattered.
00:42:07But here comes Celtic.
00:42:09Osman down this left-hand side.
00:42:11Negan's through the middle.
00:42:12Osman
00:42:14clips it to the far side
00:42:15looking for Iheanacho.
00:42:18and it goes out of play.
00:42:21That's a throw-in
00:42:21right at the corner flag.
00:42:23Yeah, but he's looked
00:42:24really sharp
00:42:24since he came on.
00:42:26Good play for Iheanacho
00:42:27again there
00:42:28to release him.
00:42:29He just got a little bit
00:42:31too much on the
00:42:33return pass
00:42:33trying to find him
00:42:34on the far side.
00:42:37well, not only
00:42:38has the title
00:42:41gone down to the final game
00:42:43it's going down to the last
00:42:44few minutes
00:42:46at the moment.
00:42:47Hearts have the point
00:42:48they need
00:42:49but Celtic still have
00:42:51six minutes plus
00:42:52added time
00:42:53to get the goal
00:42:55that they need.
00:42:56They scored late
00:42:57in the first half
00:42:57that penalty
00:42:58through Arne Engels
00:42:59if a chance is
00:43:00in the second half
00:43:01denied by the post
00:43:02denied by a save
00:43:03from Swallow.
00:43:07Hearts have not
00:43:07really created
00:43:08too much in this
00:43:09second half
00:43:10and at the moment
00:43:11it just looks as if
00:43:11they're hanging on
00:43:12for dear life.
00:43:23Devlin knocks that
00:43:24one through
00:43:24looking for Braga.
00:43:26Oh,
00:43:27Sinisalo
00:43:28he was lucky
00:43:29that he missed
00:43:29Braga there
00:43:30thankfully.
00:43:40Shankland
00:43:40wins the ball
00:43:41off scales
00:43:41the ball's knocked
00:43:43off the Irishman
00:43:44and Hearts
00:43:45have a corner kick
00:43:46a brief moment
00:43:47of respite
00:43:48and a rare chance
00:43:49for them to test
00:43:51the Celtic backline.
00:43:53Yeah, it was a real
00:43:54nervy moment there
00:43:55as Sinisalo
00:43:56came out
00:43:57wasn't getting to it.
00:44:06Hearts with the set piece
00:44:07Calum Osmond stayed up
00:44:08at the halfway line
00:44:09James Forrest is on the
00:44:10edge of the box
00:44:11everyone else
00:44:12is back defending this
00:44:13Blair Smittle
00:44:14over the ball
00:44:15fires it into the
00:44:16six yard box
00:44:17it's punch clear
00:44:18by Sinisalo
00:44:21well thankfully
00:44:22Stephen Kingsley
00:44:22lashed at it
00:44:23with his right foot
00:44:24because when it
00:44:24broke to him
00:44:25I feared the worst.
00:44:26yeah, time
00:44:27yeah, time
00:44:28and it always found
00:44:29its way to
00:44:29Draga
00:44:31it's way to go again
00:44:32Johnson launches that one
00:44:33long
00:44:33it's Engels who's there
00:44:36Finlay clears his lines
00:44:39it's knocked forward
00:44:40Draga
00:44:41to Spittle
00:44:42plays the ball over the top
00:44:44looking for the runner
00:44:45of Claudio Draga
00:44:45scales will get there ahead
00:44:49less than four minutes
00:44:50of the 90 remaining
00:44:56Soracchi steps inside
00:44:58past Schoutland
00:44:58gasps of worry
00:45:00from Celtic fans
00:45:01but the Uruguayans
00:45:02still there
00:45:02gives it to Negrin
00:45:04plays it back to scales
00:45:07back across to Soracchi
00:45:12cuts inside
00:45:15stabs it forward
00:45:16to Osmond
00:45:16Osmond cuts it back
00:45:18Maeda
00:45:20well the offside flag
00:45:21is up
00:45:31well
00:45:32this will be
00:45:33checked for offside
00:45:37well
00:45:38similar finish
00:45:38to the Rangers game
00:45:39a moment of drama
00:45:44well Maeda
00:45:45Osmond's on
00:45:46yeah but Maeda
00:45:47it's whether they think
00:45:48Maeda's part of the play
00:45:50Osmond's on
00:45:52goal's onside
00:45:53he's onside
00:45:57Maeda's not involved
00:45:58in the first
00:45:59well it's whether they
00:46:01decide that he's
00:46:02part of the
00:46:07it's whether he's part of the
00:46:09phase because he comes
00:46:09from an offside position
00:46:11no but it goes to Osmond
00:46:13I think the referee
00:46:14is going to disallow that
00:46:16he's called
00:46:17Callum McGregor over
00:46:21well they're still
00:46:22checking this
00:46:23this is a moment
00:46:24of real drama
00:46:48Darius and Maeda gets the goal
00:46:50and Celtic leads by two goals to one, Maeda's on the ground.
00:46:55The game's not over, but Celtic have the goal, the latest of late goals.
00:47:02That is Maeda, 88 minutes on the clock, and his goal is eighth goal in six games.
00:47:08Could be the goal that wins the title for Celtic.
00:47:13Unbelievable.
00:47:14But it's the right decision, Osman was onside in the initial play.
00:47:17He puts it back, and Maeda's a similar finish to last week.
00:47:27The job's not done, they need to compose themselves here.
00:47:32Well, Celtic will sacrifice Benjamin Negrin for Dane Murray,
00:47:40there will be seven added minutes at the end of this game,
00:47:42Celtic will revert back to our back four, they have the title.
00:47:47Dane Murray!
00:47:50Dane Murray!
00:47:52Dane Murray!
00:47:52Dane Murray!
00:47:52Well, you see how much it means to Dane Murray!
00:47:54Dane Murray!
00:47:55Dane Murray!
00:47:56He collapsed on the ground.
00:47:59His goal could give Celtic the title once again.
00:48:15Dane Murray!
00:48:18Somebody takes his place alongside Liam Scales,
00:48:21this is going to be a dramatic last seven minutes.
00:48:26There's going to have to be a stoppage with seven minutes.
00:48:30And Celtic on the verge of another title one.
00:48:39Well, there was such a moment of tension there as we waited for that decision, Simon.
00:48:44Just the way I've seen it, I thought it was definitely onside.
00:48:49Maeda wasn't involved in the first phase, but then pops up with the goal.
00:48:53There's going to actually be eight added minutes.
00:48:58Callum Osmond driving for him, here comes Maeda in support as well.
00:49:06Seracchi wins the header.
00:49:10It's out of play, it's a heart's throw in.
00:49:12Well, suddenly they'll be anxious for Hearts to keep playing as Scales knocks Alwyn out of play,
00:49:20and Hearts will launch this one into the box, I'm sure.
00:49:26Well, I hope that is the only late drama we're dealing with, Simon,
00:49:29because we have about eight minutes to hang on here for another league title.
00:49:40The ball launched into the six-yard box, Scales heads that one out and it's a corner kick, so...
00:49:47Well, we always knew if we got into this position we were going to be hanging on, defending,
00:49:51which we're going to have to do.
00:49:54Yeah, we've got seven minutes or so.
00:49:58Celtic having to defend this corner kick from Stephen Kingsley.
00:50:04The ball floated into the box in the far post, it's headed behind the goal kick.
00:50:17Well, we know this Celtic team never give up, they score so many late goals,
00:50:21it's the 11th game where we've scored a late, late goal.
00:50:26Well, Dyson made up.
00:50:28He scored an unbelievable goal last weekend, has he scored the goal that wins the league?
00:50:33Well, I certainly hope so.
00:50:35The left-back putting some great work in the build-up to the goal as well.
00:50:57Sriracha clears that one, Devlin knocks it forward, Maeda challenges and Harts battling for everything.
00:51:07The ball knocked forward, looking for the run of Braga.
00:51:10But Sinisalo's there, Gallo's that one.
00:51:14Listen to the crowd at Celtic Park.
00:51:20Well, we are about to witness an unbelievable triumph for Martin O'Neill if we can hang on
00:51:30for another five and a half minutes.
00:51:41Kinsley launches that one long, Finlay heads it on towards Shankland, Maeda takes off his toes.
00:51:49Still Maeda.
00:51:51Cami Devlin challenges.
00:51:58Sriracha and Shankland clashing there, I wouldn't be taking on Marcello and Sriracha if my life depended on it.
00:52:07Shankland and Sriracha booked.
00:52:10And it's going to be Shankland to launch this one into the penalty at Harts with everyone forward,
00:52:14Ballard goalkeeper, fantastic defensive play from Maeda initially there.
00:52:22Shankland into the box, the ball's played across, and Sriracha clears it up towards the halfway line.
00:52:32Devlin will play that one back to his goalkeeper, Harts will keep everyone forward I would imagine.
00:52:38Ian Achill chases the goalkeeper, the ball knocked forward, good challenge there by Dane Murray.
00:52:47Free kick in the centre circle, and again Harts will push everyone forward.
00:52:53Well, we still have about four minutes, Simon, it's not over yet, it certainly isn't.
00:52:59All hands on deck here, just defending for their lives, if they can secure a little bit of possession.
00:53:13Swallow to launch this one.
00:53:17Knocks it forward.
00:53:21Kind of clear, but Osmond, it's picked up by Devlin, plays it across.
00:53:32Brilliant from Maeda.
00:53:39Well, you can see how much it means to Dyson Maeda.
00:53:42Absolutely brilliant.
00:53:45Normally, he has no emotion, but my goodness, talk about emotional this afternoon.
00:53:51Aye, he's brilliant there though.
00:53:53Desire, three minutes to go, 95th minute, you see it time and time again from him.
00:53:58Desire that won't win the ball, wins the free kick, relieves the pressure.
00:54:10McGregor.
00:54:10Sinasalo will launch this one long, we want the ball at the other end of the park.
00:54:23McGregor back to Maida, knocked it out of play, in fact there's a free kick,
00:54:30and again, Hearts is going to launch this one long,
00:54:33this could be the last opportunity for the visitors,
00:54:37two minutes of the eight remaining, Celtic lead by two goals to one as it stands,
00:54:44Celtic will be the champions again, Martin O'Neill will have guided us to the most remarkable title triumph,
00:54:50but we have to stand firm, the ball played into the box.
00:54:55Spittle gets in ahead of Osmond, flips it forward.
00:55:03Johnson knocks it up towards the Hearts half,
00:55:07the goalkeeper, launches it long again,
00:55:12Hearts have just committed everyone forward.
00:55:17Devlin.
00:55:22The goal comes off, Callum McGregor,
00:55:24Dyson Maida, hooks that one clear only as far as Devlin.
00:55:31Callum McGregor platters into the Australian and Celtic will,
00:55:35the goal.
00:55:36It's now another, Simon.
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:42There's just one there, I thought Dyson that team could have done a little bit better with keeping possession.
00:55:48Keep us up.
00:55:49Keep us up now, it's now another for Hearts, Celtic need to defend this set piece,
00:55:54you get the feeling if they do, we will be the champions.
00:55:58The ball delivered into the box,
00:56:00Callum McGregor glances the header,
00:56:02Cammie Devlin is blocked, it's a chance.
00:56:05Celtic are the champions!
00:56:06Callum Osmond to score!
00:56:11Yes!
00:56:13Celtic are the champions!
00:56:17And it's all over in paradise!
00:56:21What a way to finish the game!
00:56:24Unbelievable scenes in paradise!
00:56:27Callum Osmond with the goal!
00:56:30And Celtic are the champions!
00:56:34Unbelievable scenes, unbelievable.
00:56:53Well, you have to say we want to celebrate this victory but not in that manner, that has to be
00:56:57said.
00:57:01Well, the game, Celtic fans obviously jubilant but that is not what the Celtic fans want to see on the
00:57:14pitch.
00:57:15Well, an unbelievable end to this game.
00:57:44Well, Celtic, late drama at Celtic Park, two goals,
00:57:50Dyson Maeda and Callum Osmond, Celtic have won the game, they've won the title.
00:57:56The fans have to go off to Parkside and they really have to.
00:57:59Yeah, 100%.
00:58:03There's some scenes in front of us down in the dugout between the players as well.
00:58:17Well, Martin O'Neill has delivered the most incredible, incredible title triumph for Celtic.
00:58:27And all said and done, Martin O'Neill has won this league for us.
00:58:31Incredible contribution from him and his staff.
00:58:36The players have chased and chased and chased this Hearts team down.
00:58:42And at times it looked over and they've came back and they've seen the late goals as well.
00:58:51Well, Hearts have thrown everything forwards in that last free kick and when Celtic won the ball.
00:58:58Well, I'm not sure Callum Osmond will ever have a moment like that again in his life.
00:59:04It's a real moment.
00:59:05Running the length of the park knowing he's going to score.
00:59:08I know, incredible.
00:59:1060,000 in here knowing that as well.
00:59:12Well, that is an unbelievable way.
00:59:16Well, I mentioned that we had 10 games this season where we scored late on.
00:59:21That is game number 11.
00:59:22It's not good for the health, Paul.
00:59:24Dyson Maeda, eight goals in six games.
00:59:28We saw how much it means to him.
00:59:31But Celtic, from a position where at times they were written off,
00:59:35they have won the title again in the most dramatic of circumstances again.
00:59:41And listen to the noise round Celtic Park.
00:59:45Unbelievable.
01:00:02I can see Daylon Doherty down there trying to grab Callum Osmond, the goalscorer,
01:00:08getting a hug from Martin O'Neill.
01:00:09And we want to hear.
01:00:11In fact, it's Benjamin Negrim, 21 goals.
01:00:14Let's hear what he's got to say.
01:00:30Well, the noise, the bedroom.
01:00:32You can see Daylon talking to Benjamin Negrim but we can't really hear the sound.
01:00:36Well, there was rumours this week that Oasis might be playing here next year.
01:00:39They're playing here right now.
01:00:42Simon, let's roll with it.
01:00:44Absolutely.
01:00:45Absolutely.
01:00:46The scenes are incredible.
01:00:47You can see how much it means to the players.
01:00:49There's been so much pressure on them.
01:00:51As I say, they've been in an unusual situation.
01:00:54Having to chase Hearts down at times behind Rangers.
01:00:57It was a three-horse race.
01:00:59Went to two.
01:01:00We've taken care of business on the last day.
01:01:02Couldn't be any more sweeter for these guys.
01:01:04Well, if I tell you there's about three or four smiling faces in the press box and they all belong
01:01:08to the Celtic media team.
01:01:09Two of us, it's me and you.
01:01:13Incredible scenes for Celtic.
01:01:15I don't think it can be underestimated the magnitude of what this Celtic team has achieved in the circumstances.
01:01:26You saw when his goal was given, he was on the ground flat out.
01:01:30The emotion of it.
01:01:32You saw the way he was squaring up to Shankland.
01:01:35He has been key in these last few games.
01:01:38He's been super helpful.
01:01:39He really has.
01:01:40And at times this season, he's received a bit of criticism.
01:01:43His season last year was so good.
01:01:46So many goals he scored, but his contribution to this team since the minute they walked in the back.
