Hearts winger Alexandros Kyziridis describes title heartbreak
Hearts winger Alexandros Kyziridis said his side went from “heaven to hell in 90 minutes” after Celtic secured the league title with a 3‑1 victory. The win denied Hearts a first league championship in 66 years.
The decisive match saw Celtic take the lead and later add a third goal, sealing a 3‑1 win that clinched the Scottish Premiership. The final goal sparked celebrations that spilled onto the pitch.
Celtic supporters flooded the field after the last goal, confronting Hearts players in a chaotic scene. The pitch invasion intensified the post‑match tension.
Kyziridis, one of Hearts’ standout performers, noted that his team was minutes away from a draw that would have changed the outcome. A draw would have ended a 41‑year run in which only Celtic or Rangers claimed the title.
The 41‑year streak highlights the dominance of the Glasgow clubs in Scottish football history. Hearts’ near‑miss underscored how close the club came to breaking that pattern.
The fallout from the title decider continues as Hearts look to regroup for upcoming fixtures, while Celtic celebrate their championship triumph.
