Hearts thought they had it easy at Celtic Park – we had the last laugh in unforgettable title win

Former Celtic left-back Marcelo Saracchi reflected on his decisive role in Celtic's dramatic title-winning victory against Hearts. Saracchi stated that Hearts entered Celtic Park believing they had an easy contest, but Celtic claimed the final victory. Coming on as a substitute, Saracchi set up the sequence leading to Daizen Maeda's 87th-minute strike before Callum Osmand added a third goal to clinch the Premiership title.

Saracchi, who joined Celtic on loan from Boca Juniors and now plays for Houston Dynamo, also detailed his close bond with manager Martin O’Neill despite a language barrier. Although Saracchi hoped to make his stay at Celtic permanent after winning both the league and the Scottish Cup, a deal did not materialize.
