Celtic's 2-0 victory over 10-man Hearts on Sunday at Tynecastle has secured them their 11th Scottish Premiership title in 12 years.

The Hoops dominated possession in the opening minutes, but it was Hearts who threatened first through a powerful effort from Andy Irving that was well saved by Joe Hart. 

However, Hearts suffered a huge setback when Alex Cochrane was sent off on the stroke of half time after a VAR review showed he had denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity to Daizen Maeda with a trip just outside the box.

After a goalless first half, Celtic continued to dominate and finally broke the deadlock in the 67th minute through Kyogo Furuhashi, who scored his 24th league goal of the season. The Japan international latched onto a low-driven cross from Reo Hatate and expertly flicked the ball beyond Zander Clark at the near post.

Shortly after scoring, Kyogo was forced off due to injury, but Celtic found their second goal with 10 minutes to go when Oh Hyeon-gyu poked home from close range after receiving a low cross from Aaron Mooy.

The win sees Celtic secure the title with four games remaining. Celtic's season has been impressive so far, having won 31 of their 34 Premiership matches this season, scoring 105 goals and conceding just 25. 

Ange Postecoglou's men also lifted the Scottish League Cup earlier this year and have a chance to complete a domestic treble with victory over Inverness in the Scottish Cup final in June
