In Jamboland, those minutes must have been murderous and cruel. The angst must have been off the charts. So much done, so much history made and yet it wasn’t enough.

Osmand broke away to score seconds before the end, two team-mates running in his slipstream with every man in maroon up the other end. What a moment that must have been for the youngster, a free run on goal, an open target and the noise of 60,000 fans screaming in his ears.

There was still 30 seconds left to play when the invasion happened, but that time was binned in the chaos. On streamed the Celtic supporters and eye-witness reports with a clear view say things got ugly.

SPFL were informed by match officials later that the final whistle had been blown but still it was a pitiful end to a glorious moment for the home team. A shameful way to treat the visitors, who have given us so much this season, so many supreme moments, so much that made the title race the greatest in the lifetime of so many.

Hearts will be distraught, naturally, but there is a sense that this is just the beginning of their story, that they will come again and again under the management of Derek McInnes, the data analysis of Jamestown Analytics, the backing of the Foundation of Hearts, Tony Bloom and James Anderson, their benefactor-in-chief.

None of that will ease their pain in the here and now. Until they get over the line in this league then that hurt will be an open wound. There has to be enormous pride, too. And hope. A bittersweet season.

Celtic have so much work to do, so many important foundations to put in place for next season. O’Neill pulled off a feat of escapology that wouldn’t have been required had the decision-makers above him not been so slapstick for so long.

They’ll do a review, no doubt, but they’ll be doing it from a position of strength. Champions again, just. And this time, more than any other time, ‘just’ was enough.

Riot police were spotted in Glasgow’s Trongate area as officers came under fire from bottles and other missiles.

Bottles and missiles have been thrown at police as Celtic fans celebrated their club’s 56th Scottish league title in Glasgow’s Trongate.

Martin O’Neill’s men scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to bring the Scottish Premiership trophy back to the East End of Glasgow for a fifth consecutive year. The game would finish 3-1 in favour of the Bhoys after goals from Engels, Maeda and Osmond cancelled out Lawrence Shankland’s opener.

Supporters swarmed the area of Glasgow’s city centre through an unorganised street party, which has become an annual tradition amongst the Celtic faithful since their Treble Treble bus parade in 2019, to revel in this season’s championship victory.

Police Scotland have revealed they are having to disperse the thousands in attendance after officers assisting a medical emergency were met with significant levels of hostility, including bottles and other missiles thrown at them. The force is asking members of the public to leave the area for public safety reasons.

It’s not known if any arrests have been made at this time. It’s also not known if there were any injuries.

Photographs from the scene showed supporters climbing traffic lights and structures. Riot cops can be seen clearing the area of the Trongate while being pelted with objects.

This comes after multiple roads in Glasgow’s Trongate were closed off by police in anticipation – with the Gallowgate closed between Watson Street and High Street. London Road was also closed between Glasgow Cross and James Morrison Street.

High Street and Saltmarket remained open. Members of the public have also been asked to avoid the area where possible. Metal cordon’s were erected around several shops to prevent damage as well as glass screens being removed from local bus stops.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police are dealing with disorder in the Trongate area of Glasgow. Officers went into the crowd to assist with a medical emergency and were faced with significant levels of hostility, with bottles and other missiles thrown at them.

“Police are now taking decisive action to disperse the crowds. For public safety reasons, all members of the public are being asked to leave the area.”

A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council previously said: “Glasgow is football daft – and we’re lucky to have two of the biggest and most successful sides in the men’s game here in the city. We want supporters to be able to celebrate success; but ask fans – including those visiting the city – to please avoid disruptive and unsafe mass gatherings at Merchant City / Trongate and other public places.

“Whoever you support, whatever the result – enjoy Saturday’s title decider, but please respect the city and your fellow Glaswegians.”

ROME (AP) — A driver plowed into pedestrians in the northern Italian city of Modena on Saturday, injuring eight people, four of them critically, local authorities said.

Mayor Massimo Mezzetti said no one was killed in the dramatic crash but four victims were in serious condition. He said a woman was pinned against a shop window and required the amputation of both legs.

The driver is a 31-year-old man born in Bergamo and raised in the province of Modena, Mezzetti said. He was detained and was being questioned at police headquarters as authorities worked to determine whether he was under the influence of substances or acted deliberately, the mayor said.

Mezzetti said the vehicle entered one of the city’s main streets and the man “drove onto the sidewalk, sending several people flying,” before crashing into the shop window.

At least eight people were injured, four of them in very serious condition, according to the mayor. Victims were taken to hospitals in Modena and Bologna, including by helicopter for the most critical cases.

The driver attempted to flee but was stopped first by some of the citizens involved in the crash and then by police and taken to headquarters for questioning.

Witnesses reported the man was holding a knife, but he did not manage to stab anyone, the mayor said, adding that investigators are still working to determine whether the act was deliberate or linked to other causes.

“Whatever the nature, it is a very serious act,” Mezzetti said. “If it were an attack, it would be even more serious.”

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni called the incident “extremely serious” in a social media post and expressed solidarity with the victims and their families.

Meloni thanked citizens who intervened to help stop the suspect and praised law enforcement, adding she was in contact with local authorities and expected the suspect to be held fully accountable.

Emergency services, including police, carabinieri and financial police, responded to the scene, which was cordoned off as ambulances treated victims in the street.

The Hoops secured a fifth consecutive championship after beating Hearts 3-1 on Saturday

Celtic have won the William Hill Premiership title in the most dramatic of circumstances following a late win over long-time leaders Hearts.

The Hoops secured a fifth consecutive championship which looked unlikely for long spells of the season.

Here are some of the key games on their rocky road to the title.

Kilmarnock away – twice

Celtic twice secured stoppage-time winners at Rugby Park, the first in September after many fans boycotted the first 12 minutes in protest at the board’s transfer dealings in the wake of their Champions League play-off exit at the hands of Kairat Almaty. Kelechi Iheanacho sealed a 2-1 win from the spot. Celtic trailed by two goals inside the first half hour at the same venue on February 15. Goals from half-time sub Sebastian Tounekti and Benjamin Nygren brought the Hoops level and Julian Araujo sealed a 3-2 win, again with virtually the last kick of the ball, before jumping into the away end to celebrate with the fans.

St Mirren 0 Celtic 1

Callum McGregor fired home from 25 yards deep in stoppage time to earn the champions what had looked an unlikely victory against St Mirren on November 22. The Paisley side had earlier come close to a winner when Conor McMenamin hit the post and when a Liam Scales own goal was disallowed for offside.

Celtic 3 Rangers 1

Despite making a good recovery under Martin O’Neill following the chaotic reign of Wilfried Nancy, Celtic went into the split in third place and knowing there was little room for error after a damaging defeat at Tannadice in March. But they knocked their city rivals out of the running on May 10 when Daizen Maeda’s quickfire double saw them complete a comeback at a raucous Celtic Park.

Motherwell 2 Celtic 3

The title was heading to Tynecastle for a spell in the first half on Wednesday with Hearts two up on Falkirk and Celtic trailing to Elliot Watt’s volley as Motherwell dominated. Goals from Daizen Maeda and Benjamin Nygren got Celtic back in front but the Steelmen regained the upper hand and deservedly levelled through Liam Gordon with five minutes left. The goal meant Celtic would need to win by three goals in the title decider but VAR intervened with a hugely contentious handball call against former Hearts midfielder Sam Nicholson. Iheanacho stepped up from the spot with the last kick of the ball to ensure Celtic just needed to beat the Jambos by any margin.

Celtic 3 Hearts 1

Celtic again did it the hard way on the final day after Lawrence Shankland’s strike put Hearts ahead in the 43rd minute. Arne Engels levelled from the spot following another handball call and the title went right to the wire. Daizen Maeda got the crucial goal in the 87th minute despite initially being flagged offside and Callum Osmand netted on an unopposed breakaway effort eight minutes into stoppage time to spark a chaotic pitch invasion.

A drugs importing gang kingpin is among those who have been locked up this week in Greater Manchester. Dean Hussain appeared to be running a legitimate, growing business in the trade of vintage clothing.

In reality, Hussain was the ‘controlling mind’ behind a massive smuggling gang that imported at least 675kg of cannabis into the UK. He was locked up this week alongside his lieutenant Prince Oyewo and right-hand man Elliot McBurnie.

Also behind bars this week is Mouhamadou Fall who brutally stabbed his dad and a stranger to death whilst in the throes of a mental health crisis.

Prison terms are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are on hand to cover the biggest cases.

Here is a roundup of the cases heard before our region’s court this week:

Abdul El-Kamh and Isaiah Foster

Two masked thugs broke into a woman’s home and subjected her to a horrific attack whilst filming it on their mobile phone. The victim was just about to leave for work as a night cleaner on Feb 6 this year, when Isaiah Foster and Abdul El-Kamh, both 21, repeatedly banged on the front door demanding drugs and money.

They then moved to the back of the house where they smashed the kitchen window and climbed inside whilst armed with a claw hammer. Inside the house in Moston, they began damaging various items before moving upstairs. The woman had shut herself into her bedroom before they kicked down the door, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Her daughter and her niece had been locked in the bathroom by the woman moments before and were helpless as they heard the woman ‘screaming’ and ‘in pain’. Her daughter said: “We were shouting ‘Mama’, we were both panicked and did not know what was going on.”

El-Kamh, of Devon Road, Tyldesley, was jailed for 6 years. Foster, of Salisbury Street, Moss Side, was jailed for eight years with an extended licence of two years. Both previously pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary and possession of an offensive weapon.

Dean Hussain, Prince Genesis Oyewo and Elliot McBurnie

On the face of it, Dean Hussain was running a legitimate, growing business. The owner of multiple companies involved in the importation of vintage clothing from the United States, the 26-year-old appeared to have a bright future.

In reality, Hussain was the ‘controlling mind’ behind a massive smuggling gang that imported at least 675kg of cannabis into the UK. Numerous fake companies – set up using stolen or fake identities – placed orders with outfits in California.

Concealed within huge shipments of clothing was masses of Cali weed, a powerful strain of the drug. Minshull Street Crown Court heard that between December 2022 and January 2024, 28 shipments came into the country.

Five were intercepted by Border Force officials, who found nearly 130kg of cannabis said to have been worth £902,210 at wholesale price and £3.7m at street prices.

“On the basis that the remaining 23 shipments contained a similar amount of cannabis, the total value of the cannabis imported in the 28 shipments was up to £5.3m if sold in wholesale bulk quantities, and up to £19.3m if sold at street level,” prosecutor Adam Birkby said.

Mouhamadou Fall

A double killer who knifed his father before stabbing a stranger in a spree of ‘savage’ violence has been handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 14 years.

Mouhamadou Fall was made the subject of a hospital order as a judge passed sentence in the case on Wednesday (May 13). A jury, having deliberated for 11 hours, found him guilty of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility earlier this year.

The 24-year-old, who killed his dad Sidy Fall and cyclist Norman Scott, has been readmitted to Ashworth High Secure Hospital. He will stay there for as long as treatment is necessary, before being transferred to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence. The Parole Board will determine if it is safe to release him once his minimum term has passed.

Benjamin Wilson

Benjamin Wilson, 35, has been locked up for ten-and-a-half years after being found guilty of raping an intoxicated woman he met in Manchester city centre. The victim had become separated from her friends during a night out, and feared her drink had been spiked during the evening, Greater Manchester Police said.

Wilson found her alone near a takeaway in what the force described as an ‘extremely vulnerable and intoxicated’ state. They said that Wilson ‘took advantage of the situation’ and guided her to a taxi before ‘repeatedly raping’ her at a flat in the city, in June 2022.

Tristan Chapman

Two drug mules were caught on the same flight carrying 36 kilos of cannabis between them.

Tristan Chapman, 30, and Jhamack Taghdiri, 36, landed in Manchester Airport at around 6am on return from Bangkok, Thailand, via Doha on January 12 this year.

The strangers, both from Wales, were stopped by Border Force officials as they attempted to go through customs. Carrying a suitcase each, both items were examined and found to contain 18 kilos of cannabis each, concealed within numerous vacuum sealed packages.

Chapman, of St. Andrews Close, Pontrhydyrun, Cwmbran, Torfaen, was jailed for two years following activation of the suspended sentence.

Dean Clarke

The mother of a teenage girl abused by a paedophile says her daughter ‘cannot trust anyone’ anymore. Dean Clarke, from Salford, messaged the schoolgirl through an online video and messaging platform.

Greater Manchester Police said Clarke was reported to officers by the girl’s mother when she was 13 and he was 21. The mum discovered Clarke’s messages on a laptop.

Some of the messages implied they had had a sexual relationship as they also talked about pregnancy tests, GMP said. In a powerful statement read out in court yesterday (May 14), the victim’s mum described the toll Clarke’s actions had taken on her daughter – leaving her unable to attend school and struggling to eat or sleep.

At Manchester Crown Court yesterday (May 14), Clarke, 25, of Cannon Hussey Court, Salford, was sentenced to five years in prison. He has been placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely and is subject to a sexual harm prevention order. Clarke has also been issued with a restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim.

Terri Cook

A twisted teaching assistant abused her position of trust to groom a vulnerable boy. Suspicions were raised around Terri Cook, from Bury, when a member of the public reported seeing her out with the child, who was of primary school-age.

Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation, which uncovered how she had been grooming the boy and manipulating him into engaging in a sexual relationship. Officers discovered numerous messages on her phone which showed she had been inciting sexual communications with the boy.

Cook, 38, was also found to have indecent images of the child. Police uncovered how Cook had bought the boy expensive items, including jewellery and clothing, over a nine-month period that she committed her crimes.

Cook pleaded guilty to eight charges of sexual offences. She was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison at Minshull Street Crown Court yesterday (May 14).

People who camped outside Swatch stores ahead of a new watch were forced to walk away empty-handed after mobs tried to push through.

The Swiss firm said they would not open its branches in London and other cities in light of safety considerations for both our customers and our staff’.

This includes stories in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and Sheffield.

People queued overnight to purchase the brand’s new ‘Royal Pop’ pocket watch collaboration with luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet, which is priced from £335. It has been resold online for up to £16,000.

Thousands gathered across London stores, including in Battersea Power Station, Westfield Shepherds Bush and Oxford Street.

But crowds soon became ‘mob-like’, with police called to assist security as Swatch ultimately decided not to open their doors.

Tyler, 20, arrived at Battersea Power Station at 7pm last night. He had travelled up from Canterbury and waited a number of hours in the queue before he was ordered outside.

He told Metro: ‘It got late and they told us we couldn’t stay in the building, so everyone went to camp on the deck chairs outside.

‘Once it got to midnight, people became a bit more mob-like and it just went into absolute chaos. Everyone started standing up and moving towards the entrances.’

Security opened the doors again at 7am, but rather than form a queue back in footage shows people sprinting towards the small section of queue which was allowed to wait inside overnight.

Tyler said: ‘People were tripping over rushing in, there was no control over the situation. Lots of people were rushing in from different entrances.

‘It got settled again but it only took one guy to start pushing and shouting towards the doors, and lots of other people started. That was when police arrived.’

Footage shows police dogs at the scene in Battersea Power Station, barking at people to push the crowd back away from the doors.

And in Westfield police were also telling the crowd to move back as the store would not be opening, with the queue stretching around escalators all the way to the food court.

After hearing the announcement no one will get a watch, Tyler said he ‘wasn’t surprised but gutted’ because it was obvious from the start the crowd was too dangerous to open the shop.

‘But I feel bad for the guy at the front who apparently camped out for four or five days,’ he said.

A spokesperson from Battersea Power Station, said: ‘Like all Swatch stores across the UK, we experienced unprecedented demand for the launch of the Audemars Piquet x Swatch collection.

‘To ensure the safety of our visitors, the decision was made to close the Battersea Power Station store in line with other closures across the country. The safety of our visitors remains our utmost priority, and we are reviewing security procedures with Swatch.’

Metro contacted Swatch and the Metropolitan Police for comment.
