Find out the last time that a non-Old Firm team captured the Scottish Premiership title as Hearts maintain their assault towards a first top-flight crown in 66 years.

When did a non-Old Firm team last win the Scottish title?

Incredibly it's been 41 years since a team other than Rangers or Celtic were last crowned champions of Scotland.

Aberdeen, who were managed by Sir Alex Ferguson at the time, were the last team able to break the Old Firm stranglehold, way back in 1985.

In fact, their triumph during the 1984/85 campaign came fresh on the back off their title-winning charge a year earlier too, representing the first time since the early 1950s that a side, other than one of the Glaswegian giants, had gone back-to-back in the top-tier of Scottish football.

At the time, the Dons were a legitimate European football powerhouse, winning the Cup Winners Cup in 1983, whilst reigning supreme in the European Super Cup in 1986.

Ferguson, famously, departed Pittodrie to take over the managerial reins of Manchester United in 1986, where he enjoyed an even more prolific title-winning spell in charge.

Hearts boss Derek McInnes is now looking to follow in the revered Scottish manager's footsteps by trumping Rangers and Celtic to the domestic title, some 66 years on from the club's last top-flight triumph in 1959/60.
