Kyogo Furuhashi netted his 50th Celtic goal to break Hearts' resistance as his side made it back-to-back titlesCeltic clinched their second successive Scottish Premiership title under Ange Postecoglou as Kyogo Furuhashi's 30th goal of the season helped overcome stubborn 10-man Hearts at Tynecastle.
The visitors were out of sorts and second best until the stroke of half-time when Alex Cochrane's yellow card for a foul on Daizen Maeda was upgraded to red following Video Assistant Referee intervention.
Kyogo made the breakthrough with his 50th Celtic goal and substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu steered in a second to ensure the club's 11th title in 12 years.
It is a 53rd league crown overall for Celtic and they can complete a fifth treble in seven seasons with victory over second-tier Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup final on 3 June.
