Since 1985 only Celtic and Rangers have won Scottish league until now
Celtic is well aware that it’s not just fighting for a title, but also to maintain its historic dominance in the Scottish Premiership. Since 1985, the championship has been dominated exclusively by Celtic and Rangers, a streak that is now seriously threatened.
The main protagonist of this potential break is Heart of Midlothian, the current league leaders, who are on the verge of making history.
If they succeed, they would end more than four decades of dominance by the two giants of Scottish football, in a season already considered one of the most surprising in recent years.
Celtic and Rangers’ 40-year hegemony is in danger
In this context, Celtic appears as the main challenger and the only one with a realistic chance of preventing this change of era.
However, the margin is minimal, and the pressure increases with each passing matchday, especially as the season enters its decisive phase.
With only four matches left to play, time is running out, and every point is worth its weight in gold. Celtic will have to be near perfect if they want to prevent Hearts from breaking the recent history of Scottish football and, at the same time, reclaim a throne they have been accustomed to contesting for decades.
