Over the weekend in Scotland, the penultimate match of the 37th round of the Scottish Premier League took place - an important step towards the championship title was taken by Glasgow Celtic, who defeated the Lithuanian Edinburgh team away, while they secured their survival in the league after a dramatic battle.
Despite not having anything to fight for and being without their head coach, Hearts managed to focus on the match, which was significant in the fight for the first place in the league, as it was practically one of the last hopes for the Rangers club to take points from the league leader Celtic.
In the Edinburgh team, D.Cesnauskis and M.Kizys were still injured, so only S.Mikoliunas took to the field among the Lithuanians. The hosts started the match actively, but did not create any serious chances, and in the 25th minute, the visitors succeeded when a shot by A.Thomson deflected off a defender and went into the goal.
Although P.Hartley equalized the score with 20 minutes remaining in the match, a precise strike by C.Bellamy in the 77th minute helped the Celtic team secure a difficult and very important victory, allowing them to restore their two-point advantage over the Rangers club, who easily won 4-1 against Motherwell.
Aberdeen won 2-1 away against Hibernian, Dundee and Inverness drew 1-1, while A.Skerla scored in the penultimate minute for Dunfermline against Dundee United, collecting 34 points and no longer being able to occupy the last place with only one round left.
