Scotland experienced the peak of the season in the last round, but did not live to see a historic day - Hearts, who had been the leader since October, fell in the final 90 minutes, so everything in this country is as it has been for the last 41 years.
Celtic are champions for the 56th time in history, the dominance of the Glasgow teams in the famous "Old Firm" derby continues - in the last round, in a direct battle for the title, the "Celtics" broke the hearts of Hearts and the part of Edinburgh that supports this club.
Martin O'Onil's team won 3:1, after trailing 1:0 at the end of the first half, and only a victory was enough for them to win the cup - hero Daizen Maeda's goal in the 88th minute for 2:1 was decisive. For the 14th title of this great team in the last 15 years.
Celtic are on their 56th title, fellow giants and Old Firm rivals Rangers are on 55, and Hearts, along with Aberdeen and city rivals Hibernian, remain on four titles. Hearts are left waiting for their first celebration since 1960.
Scotland also remains waiting for a champion outside the Old Firm - the last one to do so was the great Sir Alex Ferguson in 1985 with Aberdeen.
The match of the season brought a hellish pace from the first minute, both teams showed from the start how much they wanted the title, but the goals were waited until the end of the first half. And the visiting fans were the first to rejoice - The unreal Lawrence Shankland headed in a corner kick, it was his 17th goal in the championship.
Derek McInnes' team took a big step towards the title at that moment, as a draw was also a good result for them, but the joy did not last long.
Alexandros Kiziridis was unfortunately hit in the hand by the ball as he skated in, and referee Don Robertson pointed to the white spot. Belgian Arne Engels was cool-blooded - 1:1.
Hearts held on well in the second half, but Kalechi Ihenać's goal in the 79th minute and Benjamin Nygren's great chance a minute later seemed to herald another championship triumph at Celtic Park.
And then the 88th minute happened, which the green and white of Glasgow would celebrate, and the burgundy part of Edinburgh would suffer for a long time.
Callum Osmand avoided the offside trap, found Maeda, and the Japanese, just like last weekend in the "Old Firm", became a hero - 2:1. The assistant referee initially signaled offside, but VAR confirmed that when the ball was sent to Osmand, he was not in an illegal position, although Maeda, who only became active later, was.
Hearts tried to recover, to reach the golden goal, everyone went on the attack, but that only opened the way for Celtic to put an end to a game that will certainly be historic - Osmand scored an empty goal in stoppage time for 3:1.
After that, nothing could stop the Celtic fans who rushed onto the pitch to celebrate the title.
