@JohnWight1 The only venom I saw yesterday has been from Celtic fans, more interested in getting it right up everyone else than actually celebrating their own success. And I don't just mean in Glasgow.

The sheer scale of the venom being directed at Celtic and their fans is more than just about football. It is rooted in Scotland's baleful legacy and history of anti-Irish Catholic racism and bigotry.
We were on our knees as a community when Celtic was established in 1888. In 2026 we stand tall.
And the reason we do stand tall is largely because of Celtic, and how the club has provided us with a sense of pride in an identity that is rooted in defiance not compliance.

@FplRegret Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. It was lost dropping 2 points at first park last week. Then your dodgy penalty would not have mattered
English
In the harsh light of day, and with the hysteria aside, I do hope Hearts kick on and become regular challengers. The title wasn’t lost due to refs or conspiracies; it was lost in dropping 12pts to the bottom 3 of Killie, St Mirren and Livi. (1/2)

@DavidTilstone @LetsTalk_FPL Sunshine on Leith is epic - but ultimately not a Hibs football song. Can't they both be good?
English
Third time lucky....Only heard this song for the first time yesterday, it's an absolute banger.
Hope they can do it today 🤞

@TheClover_67 @SPFLWatch So you're going back months to find a decision in hearts favour to try balance that one out. There have been loads in celtic's favour since the split. None of these get given the other way.
English
@jamiegib10 @SPFLWatch In total agreement - definite pen vs motherwell but its all swings and roundabouts over the course of a season i guess. Even themselves out as they say
English
This was the one situation we didn’t want. Where either Celtic won heavily today or Hearts got the point they needed.
Wednesday’s terrible decision has what’s decided this title.
Big questions to be asked.
English
@TheClover_67 @SPFLWatch Fair and square today absolutely. Motherwell v Hearts absolutely not fair and square, cheated out of 2 points
English
@SPFLWatch No it didnt?
1. It was a penalty
2. We secured 15pts in the split, hearts secured 10.
We beat them fair and square today when all they needed was a draw.
No handball, referee or VAR decided this.
English
@JoFFC1876 @The_Thirty_ I think after the events of the last week I'd even want Falkirk to beat Celtic. I suppose some obsessions run deeper than others.
English
Have a feeling most of Europe will be Dunfermline fans next week.
English
@chris_sutton73 It's easy to stomach Chris. It's Celtic that can't stomach losing. Instead of celebration of a title or even polite applause that should come with an annual event, there has been zero class from Celtic fans. More interested in "getting it right up" everyone than their own success
English
A complete lack of understanding here on Celtic’s season. People down south just can’t stomach Celtic winning again…

“everyone wrote us off” says a player from a team who have won 14 of the last 15 league titles

@Kyle_Gunn97 Ref has final decision. So its Beaton. Neither were as bad as McLean denying hearts 2 pens though
English
@JeffStelling @elle_belle_ @GaryLineker The thing that decided it wasn't even Celtics VAR penalty at Motherwell, it was hearts not getting the 2 stone wall penalties a few days before at the same ground.
English
@elle_belle_ @GaryLineker No hatred at all Elle. Just want officials to get things right - as they did today. But as you have such hatred for me, I will help you out.
English
Hope all the 'right' people are seeeething 🤣 @GaryLineker @JeffStelling Your hatred makes us stronger 💪🏼 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

CHAMPIONS AGAIN! 🏆 Celtic are crowned Champions of Scotland for the FIFTH season in a row! Huge congratulations to Martin O’Neill and the Bhoys #Champion5 | #CelticFC🍀🏆
English
@chris_sutton73 You know exactly how they did it Chris. Even leaving out the celtic penalty at fir Park, it was won when hearts didn't get either one of 2 blatant penalties v Motherwell.
English
Have to feel for Hearts and Derek McInnes they have been brilliant all season 👏👏…but Celtic’s mentality monsters found a way. How this Celtic team did it I couldn’t tell you but in the end the best team wins and deserves it. All this” just another title “talk is bollocks 🍀👏
English
@AwayDaysFB Ecause the ball wasnt going to Maeda and he wasnt interfering in that phase. He is then onside for the cross. Don't know what they were doing with the lines though. That was just bizarre and wrong. Hate it but the right call.
English
Can someone please explain how ON EARTH this is onside? Hearts have been absolutely robbed at the death. A very dark day for Scottish football 👍🏼
English
@CLHibs @Browning84Greg Now that the cup final doesn't matter to Well, he should be back. If they had lost today there is no way they let him play.
English
@jamiegib10 @Browning84Greg My understanding is he’s going back after today’s game but we’ll see I suppose.
English
Any clever folk out there able to explain the difference between finishing 4th and 5th for Motherwell and Hibs in terms of European Qualification
What competition and round do they enter?
I get It’s dependent on Celtic winning the Scottish Cup for 5th place to qualify
English
@MotherwellFC Well done. Now you can let Ox play the cup final and you don't have to have the awkward conversation about stopping it.
English
JOB DONE!
GET YOUR PASSPORTS LOOKED OUT!
Hibernian 0 - 1 Motherwell.
English
@unit_football You mean everyone that's not a Celtic fan. Right then
English
I don’t even care about Celtic but them winning the title angers all the right people
Hail hail ☘️

@Logan63377 @Browning84Greg Both howlers, keeper in no man's land
English
@jamiegib10 @Browning84Greg Second goal is a very well taken header, obviously the first is a howler

Effectively cost Dunfermline a playoff final place 🙈

Aston Oxborough has been recalled from Dunfermline Athletic. Oxborough has been temporarily recalled for our final William Hill Premiership fixture against Hibernian.

@officialdafc Goalkeeper position been huge for us. Don't understand the formation switch to the back 4. Get Abdulai back into the back 3.
English
@EwenDCameron @MotherwellFC @shebahn @chris_sutton73 It's pointless listening to jambos or OF fans or ex players on the subject. It's not about whether it hits his hand. It probably did. The context of the celtic player pushing arm up & the mistakes in previous post split games in Celtics favour, its not clear enough to give.
English
Those who questioned the integrity of Sam Nicholson owe the boy an apology.
The @MotherwellFC player swore on his kids life that the ball didn’t strike his hand.
This new video clip is the clearest evidence of that.
I’m looking at you @shebahn @chris_sutton73
