HT: Celtic 2-0 Hearts
Kyle Magennis made it four goals in his last five games as Hibernian beat Kilmarnock at Easter Road to reach the last eight of the Scottish League Cup.
The midfielder continued his scintillating form to put Hibs in front early into the second half and Kevin Nisbet headed in a second to secure the home side's safe passage.
A further blow to Kilmarnock was the loss of captain Chris Stokes, who hobbled off injured in the second half.
Hearts are taking a pounding here. They've hardly been out of their own half as Celtic threaten to run riot.
Odsonne Edouard and Stephen Welsh with the goals in a totally one-sided contest.
Arbroath 1-1 St Johnstone
Michael McKenna almost gives Arbroath a shock winning goal, with his shot rising strike inches over the crossbar.
Celtic 2-0 Hearts
Can Hearts get to half time without suffering any more damage? The visitors' heads must be spinning as they try to repel these attacking flurries from Celtic.
Odsonne Edouard curls a free kick inches over the top but Craig Gordon probably had it covered.
Arbroath 1-1 St Johnstone
Glenn Middleton goes so close to finding a late winner for St Johnstone as his latest effort cracks the underside of the bar and rebounds back into play.

Quote MessageIt's the speed again. Celtic take a short corner and Hearts don't get time to set up. It's a magnificent header from Welsh.
Stephen Welsh
Hearts are caught napping - or trying to catch a breath - as Celtic play a corner short and Stephen Welsh is up highest to meet Odsonne Edouard's delivery to power in an impressive header.
Celtic 1-0 Hearts
The Celtic attacks are coming in waves as a lunging Kyogo Furuhashi gets studs to a looping mis-hit from David Turnbull and the ball goes inches wide.
Celtic 1-0 Hearts
Almost a second for Odsonne Edouard, with Craig Gordon making a great smothering block.
Odsonne Edouard
Celtic finally break through and they do it in style as Kyogo Furuhashi threads a sweet outside-of-the-boot pass to James Forrest, who cuts a pass back across goal for Odsonne Edouard to convert.
A great team goal.

Quote MessageHearts are spooked. They haven't managed to string two passes together
Kevin Nisbet
It's a second goal of the season for Kevin Nisbet, who cleverly heads Hibernian into a two-goal lead from a Joe Newell cross.
Celtic 0-0 Hearts
Another shot from Kyogo Furuhashi is blocked by a Celtic team-mate, with Odsonne Edouard getting in the way this time.
Hibernian 1-0 Kilmarnock
Kyle Magennis had a bit of miserable first season at Easter Road as he tried to battle back to full fitness after a long lay-off.
What a difference in the midfielder now that he is free of injury problems.
He's on four goals from seven games.
Arbroath 1-1 St Johnstone
An eventful few moments for Saints skipper Jason Kerr, who clears off his own line to deny the hosts after having that penalty saved...
Celtic 0-0 Hearts

Quote MessageEdouard goes down too easily. He was maybe anticipating contact, but John Beaton has called that correctly.
Celtic 0-0 Hearts
Odsonne Edouard goes down looking for a penalty under pressure from John Souttar but referee John Beaton is wise to him and the striker is shown a yellow card for simulation.
Celtic 0-0 Hearts
Quick feet from Tom Rogic on the edge of the Hearts penalty box but the Celtic midfielder drags his shot off target.
Hibernian 1-0 Kilmarnock
Jason Naismith has a shot tipped over the bar by Matt Macey as Kilmarnock respond to going a goal behind.
