GLASGOW, May 16 (Reuters) - Heart of ⁠Midlothian said they had to leave Parkhead minutes after their 3-1 defeat ⁠by Celtic in the Scottish title decider on Saturday because of a "menacing ‌and threatening" atmosphere inside the stadium.

Hearts needed only a draw to win their first title since 1960, but fell short as Celtic scored two late goals, the second in the final minute of ​stoppage time, triggering a pitch invasion by delirious home ⁠fans.
