Quote MessageKristoffer Ajer is looking like Cafu here. He is bombing up and down the right flank and has the freedom of Celtic Park.
Celtic 3-0 Hearts
Celtic in cruise control now and Vakoun Bayo has a shot blocked on the edge of the box as he hunts down a hat-trick. Those two goals have done the striker's confidence a world of good.

Quote MessageIdentical pass again from Nir Bitton over to Kris Ajer. What a good ball, bit of pace, in the six-yard box and that’s what we’re talking about with Vakoun Bayo's movement. He wasn’t standing behind the centre-half, he got in front of him and all it took was a little flick to make it three goals.
Bayo 60 mins
Vakoun Bayo doubles his tally on his first Celtic start with a well-taken goal, sliding in to flick home Kristoffer's Ajer whipped low cross six yards out. The Ivorian is raw but clearly knows how to finish.

Quote MessageIt started with a lovely diagonal ball from Nir Bitton, but I have to say it was a really, really good strike from Callum McGregor.
McGregor 54 mins
Loic Damour is robbed of possession by James Forrest and the ball is shuttled to Callum McGregor to crack a fine finish from 25 yards into the bottom right-hand corner. Celtic's mister dependable strikes again.
Celtic 1-0 Hearts
Hearts' record at Celtic Park is truly abysmal - one draw and 16 defeats in the last 17 visits. Can they buck the trend and launch an unlikely second-half fightback?
Celtic 1-0 Hearts
A short passback from Nir Bitton has Fraser Forster in bother but the Celtic keeper gets to the ball ahead of Conor Washington and boots clear.

Here we go for the second 45 at Parkhead.

BBC Scotland pundit Neil McCann also saw the incident in the first half...
Quote Message"There’s been something thrown from the stands there because I’m watching a lot of Celtic fans turn round and boo trying to find who did that. They’re tying to point him out I’m sure but something came on to the pitch there from behind the goal, I just saw someone going and lifting it off. If this has happened, as I’ve pointed out something getting thrown, the Celtic fans are not happy. I think they’ve dug him out; they’ve weeded the idiot out. If he has thrown something because I’ve just seen someone shepherded out by a steward and then a police woman behind them. If that has happened, then full compliments to the Celtic fans, that’s brilliant.

Quote MessageCeltic are not exactly peppering the Hearts goal with shots but they're deservedly ahead. I'm not sure Craig Levein will be happy with the Hearts performance as they've been too passive and you expect more from them.

Not much between the teams so far, but Vakoun Bayo's goal on his first Celtic start has given the champions the advantage.
Hearts have offered little going forward as they try to halt a nine-game run without a league victory.

Celtic 1-0 Hearts
Nir Bitton has bitten off more than he can chew with a freek-kick attempt at goal from fully 50 yards after Craig Halkett is yellow-carded for a trip on Celtic skipper Scott Brown. Bitton's shot trundles woefully wide and his team-mates draw him daggers.

Tom English with a report of something being thrown at today's game. Will bring you anymore on this if it develops.

A busy couple of minutes for Fraser Forster as he gets down well to deal with a powerful 20-yard effort from Hearts youngster Aaron Hickey.
Celtic 1-0 Hearts
Booking for Fraser Forster on his second Celtic debut. The big keeper did well to race out and beat Conor Washington to the ball, but then dribbled his way into trouble and lost control before scything down Loic Damour.

Manchester United's Andreas Pereira watches on from the stands at Celtic Park, presumably to keep an eye on team-mate Joel Pereira. Either that or he fancies a Hoopy the Huddle Hound meal deal...
