And so it’s the Pied Piper of Parkhead who claims the title on this storybook season.
With the very last words on the final page.
One way or another this was scripted to be a fairytale ending to a campaign that will live forever in Scottish football folklore.
A collision of the classic underdog story from a Hearts side who had led the Celtic for 231 days - and a tale of magical powers of repair that would rival even the most fanciful of Hans Christian Anderson creations.
Behind for seven and a half months - only to reclaim their throne in the last THREE MINUTES of a remarkable season thanks to magic man Daizen Maeda’s biggest goal in a Hoops shirt.
That made it 2-1 Celtic on a day they had to win and after Arne Engels’ penalty had levelled Lawrence Shankland’s opener before sub Callum Osmand netted with the last kick of the game.
Bedlam broke out as fans invaded the pitch.
But this was Celtic’s day....
