Hearts superfans remain 'supremely confident' for title win over Celtic

Hearts fans are confident the Tynecastle side can secure the Scottish Premiership title [Reuters] Hearts superfans maintain their team will win the Scottish Premiership after a controversial 99th-minute penalty against Motherwell kept Celtic's title hopes alive. "We've came this far and got this close - I'm still supremely confident we're going to get it over the line," said Colin Brown, a Jambo who has travelled from Australia to see the drama unfold. Hearts' 3-0 victory against Falkirk , coupled with a Celtic loss, would have seen the Tynecastle side win the league with a game to spare.

But with both title contenders winning, it will now come down to the final match of the season between Celtic and Hearts in Glasgow on Saturday.

If Hearts win it will be the club's first top flight title since 1960 - and the first time in more than 40 years that a team other than Celtic or Rangers has won the league. After Wednesday's fixtures, they are on 80 points - the biggest haul of any non-Old Firm team in Premiership history. Celtic are a point behind on 79.

"We've been comfortable this season against Celtic so I've got all the faith in the team," said Colin who is originally from Edinburgh. He told BBC Radio Scotland Breakfast : "The mentality that head coach Derek McInnes has drilled into the team is just phenomenal - they are a unit. " "I knew when I booked my flight it was going to go down to the last game and I maintain we are going to do it.
