Hearts start to dream with defeat of hapless Celtic
The Guardian
|October 27, 2025
On 16 April 1960, Hearts claimed the single point at St Mirren that was sufficient to secure a second Scottish title in three years.
There have been flickers of hope during the intervening spell - most notably in 1965 and 1986 - but seldom has optimism surged through Tynecastle Park in this manner.
The Hearts class of 2025 now lead Celtic by eight points and 11 goals. They will return to St Mirren on Wednesday night with the supposedly impossible dream edging ever closer to becoming a true reality. People assert Hearts will not and cannot be champions or even contenders, because of what record books show. Hard evidence on the field suggests another narrative entirely.
