    Craig Gordon makes a stunning save, but there's Leigh Griffiths. I said when he arrived on the pitch you wouldn't back against him and he's just showed why there

    Leigh Griffiths

    Scott Brown attacks a corner and Craig Gordon does well to keep out the Celtic's captain's header. The ball pops up and Leigh Griffiths is first to react, smashing the ball home.

    I think Hearts have proved today they're champions in waiting in the Championship if they do all the things right, because they've been more than a match for Celtic

    It's all a bit flat at the moment as Ryan Christie miscues a shot near the spot from which he found the top corner to make it 1-0.

    Ever since the cheekiness of Odsonne Edouard's penalty it's all been downhill from Celtic. Clearly they are devoid of confidence. What a story it would be for Leigh Griffiths if he wins the cup for Celtic.

    Another substitution... Surely there can't be any more? Leigh Griffiths takes over from Odsonne Eduoard, who shot Celtic into a 2-0 lead what seems like a long, long time ago.

    Hearts come again and this time it's Craig Wighton leaning back and shooting too high from the edge of the area.

  8. YELLOW CARD - Ajer (Celtic)published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Celtic 2-2 Heart of Midlothian

    Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer is cautioned for hauling Josh Ginnelly down.

    From the free-kick, the ball falls to Christophe Berra only for the Hearts skipper to balloon an awkward volley over the top.

    Both sides use their additional substitution allowance immediately, with Mickey Johnston on for Celtic and Peter Haring on for Hearts.

    Shane Duffy and Andy Halliday are the men making way.

    What a chance that is to win it. It's set-up brilliantly by Olly Lee, it's there to be hitting the target and he just leans back. What a chance to put your name in lights.

    Is this the time for Josh Ginnelly to be the hero? Olly Lee plays a clever cut-back to the Hearts forward but, under pressure from a sliding Kristoffer Ajer, he can only slam a shot over from near the penalty spot.

    Big chance...

    Josh Ginnelly senses his moment to be a hero but gets it all wrong as his ambitious shot from distance flies off into a murky corner of the empty stadium.
