  1. Are Celtic out of ideas?published at 14:20 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    Hearts 1-0 Celtic

    Michael Stewart

    Every time you think Celtic are building up a head of steam, Hearts come back with something and Celtic have to build it all again.

    It's not really obvious Celtic are going to get anything from this game.

    Hearts 1-0 Celtic

    It's just not happened - yet - for the champion today. Tom Rogic tries his luck again, from 25 yards, but his left-footed effort sails over the bar.

    Hearts 1-0 Celtic

    Hearts goalscorer Kyle Lafferty gets a rousing reception from the Tynecastle faithful as he takes his leave, to be replaced by teenager Harry Cochrane.

    Will his goal prove the match winner, or can Celtic find an equaliser in these last seven minutes?

    Hearts are in the driving seat. They're 1-0 up at home against the champions. They don't need to chase. Their only concern will be that they don't sit too deep and invite Celtic onto them.

    You'd better believe Celtic would take a point right now.

  5. YELLOW CARD - Michael Smithpublished at 14:12 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    Kieran Tierney is released down the left flank, nudges the ball past Michael Smith, who brings him down. Booking for the Hearts full-back.

    Hearts 1-0 Celtic

    Craig Levein makes his first enforced change of the afternoon, sending on midfielder Oliver Bozanic, with Jake Mulraney making way.

    Hearts' Peter Haring loses the ball to Celtic sub Tom Rogic, who lets fly with an effort that goes just inches wide.

  8. Celtic 'need re-inforcements'published at 14:07 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    You can't ignore the dynamics around Celtic just now. If they come out and win today, it's all put to bed. If not, it just ramps up the pressure.

    At the moment, it's a nightmare scenario, with Hearts, at home, a goal up, with this crowd behind them.

    These first 70 minutes have shown us that this Celtic team needs freshening up - they need re-inforcements.

  9. Third change for Celticpublished at 70 mins

    Hearts 0-0 Celtic

    Eboue Kouassi hasn't had an afternoon to remember here. He's looked lost at times, and slack in possession.

    Tom Rogic is on in his place.

  10. Lafferty hits the targetpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    Hearts 1-0 Celtic

    Leigh Griffiths was unlucky to have an effort cleared off the line in the first half, but with an hour played and Griffiths now off, Kyle Lafferty has edged the battle of the sharp-shooters this afternoon.

  11. Two changes for Celticpublished at 63 mins

    Hearts 1-0 Celtic

    Brendan Rodgers has responded to the goal by making a double change.

    Leigh Griffiths makes way for Odsonne Edouard up front, and James Forrest takes over from Jonny Hayes on the right flank.

    Hearts' Steven Naismith has been booked by the way, for giving Jozo Simunovic a kick as they chased a long ball.

  12. 'Slack' Simunovic costs Celticpublished at 13:56 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    Let me tell you, Simunovic, what a slackness. He gave the ball away for the goal, he doesn't learn from it, knocks the ball right over Jack Hendry's head. That is really, really slack. Puts the pressure right back on Celtic.

  13. 'What a wonderful finish'published at 13:53 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    Nobody wanted to challenge Ikpeazu - they're all frightened to death - and what a wonderful finish from Lafferty, right into the corner.

    GOAL - Hearts 1-0 Celtic (Lafferty)published at 57 mins

    Great goal from Kyle Lafferty. Jozo Simunovic gives it away and Uche Ikpeazu muscles his way down the right past Jack Hendry, pulls the back across goal and Lafferty meets it on the volley, with the outside of his left foot, and it flies into the bottom corner.

    After 19 goals last season, the big Northern Irishman is off the mark this term in some style.

    Kyle Lafferty, trying to spray a ball out to the right toucline, gives the ball away to Scott Sinclair, who plays in Leigh Griffiths, whose effort is saved.

    Griffiths has just raised his arm. He's a small guy up against big Peter Haring. He's used his hand to try and get up there and caught him in the back of the head. Probably rightly, in this modern game, you raise your hand you're going to get booked.

  17. 'Berra suffers hamstring injury'published at 13:46 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    The word is it's a hamstring issue for Christophe Berra. He's going to be out for a fair number of weeks if so. It's certainly not a twisted knee.

    A long throw-in from Hearts finds Peter Haring in the box, but the Austrian's header floats wide of the far post.

  19. YELLOW CARD - Leigh Griffithspublished at 13:45 British Summer Time 11 August 2018

    Hearts 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths goes up for a challenge with Peter Haring with his arms raised, and referee John Beaton decides it warrants a booking.

  20. CLOSE!published at 47 mins

    Hearts 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic camped in the Hearts half, trying to find an opening.

    Leigh Griffiths and Kieran Tierney are both closed down well, but when Jonny Hayes finds Mikael Lustug with a neat pass from the right flank, the Swede's curling effort is tipped over by Zdenek Zlamal.
