Celtic’s commanding position in the Scottish Premiership title race stems from their superior squad depth, proven experience in decisive fixtures, and consistent results against top opposition throughout the campaign. Despite Hearts holding a narrow lead at times this season, the champions’ ability to grind out wins, including in the Old Firm derby, has shifted trader sentiment decisively toward the Parkhead side. The market’s implied probability reflects Celtic’s historical dominance and resilience under pressure, with only a dramatic late collapse or unprecedented injury issues realistically allowing Hearts to claim the trophy on the final day.
