    Celtic 2-0 Heart of Midlothian

    BBC One Scotland match commentator Liam McLeod tells us that the last team to come back from 2-0 down to win over 90 minutes in a Scottish Cup final was Celtic - all the way back in 1904.

    Edouard is an entertainer. I love that he's tried it and executed it.

  4. Can Hearts hit back?published at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    HT: Celtic 2-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Is there any way back for Hearts or are Celtic strolling to the quadruple treble?

    Despite Celtic's first-half dominance, Conor Hazard had a couple of wobbles, so the Championship side might think they can get some joy from putting the rookie keeper under pressure. But they need to get up the pitch first...

    Hearts have to get further up the park, with their lack of pace it's hard to transition from defence to attack. The game is lost at the moment and they need a fundamental change

    Celtic in control at the halfway stage.

    Ryan Christie opened the scoring with a lovely, curling strike and Odsonne Edouard added a second with a cool penalty.

    Not long until the interval. Hearts really can't afford to lose another one but they are struggling to get any kind of foothold in this game.

    More jitters from Conor Hazard as spills the ball at the feet of Liam Boyce in a busy penalty area following an ill-judged back-header from Mohamed Elyounoussi. Again, the young Celtic keeper gets away with it.

    How cheeky can you get in a pressurised situation? Craig Gordon isn't happy - goalkeepers don't like that. That is exquisite from Odsonne Edouard. Against his former team-mate as well

    I can understand [Craig Gordon's reaction]. I think that's pretty disrespectful. It's come off for him and it looks brilliant. It's just selfish. I didn't like it. It's not because Celtic have gone two-nil up - that's his team-mate and that's why Craig's reacted like that. That was a little bit cheeky.

    A cheeky dink right down the middle...

    Nerves of steel from Odsonne Edouard as Craig Gordon dives off to his right.

    Gordon is then booked for his angry reaction, throwing the ball in the direction of the happy goalscorer.

    Handball, Christophe Berra... The Hearts skipper has his arm up in the air from a corner and the ball clatters against it. Plain as day.

    Hearts are camped deep in their own half, determined not to concede a quick second and Celtic are seeing a lot of the ball as Scott Brown sclaffs a shot wide after a menacing burst from Odsonne Edouard.

    What a goal. Unsaveable. He got bend on it, he got dip on it, what a technical ability. No chance for the goalkeeper.
