History

Historical Context

In 1985, Aberdeen broke Celtic's dominance in Scottish football by winning the Scottish Premiership with a 13-point lead, largely due to manager Alex Ferguson's strategies. This marked a significant shift, as it was the last time a non-Old Firm club won the league title. Today, Hearts' manager Derek McInnes acknowledges the ongoing challenge of competing against wealthier rivals like Celtic.
