    Celtic 2-1 Hearts

    Hearts show they still have an appetite for the fight as they enjoy a concerted spell of pressure, shelling in a series of crosses without troubling Joe Hart.

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 59 mins

    Celtic 2-1 Hearts

    More nifty skill from Matt O'Riley as the Celtic midfielder shifts the ball quickly from one foot to another before cracking a powerful shot off the inside of the post from the edge of the penalty area.

    Celtic 2-1 Hearts

    A very generous free-kick goes the way of Hearts and goalkeeper Joe Hart looks a bit lost as Stephen Kingsley swings in a good delivery before Carl Starfelt heads clear.

    Celtic 2-1 Hearts

    Celtic continue where they left off before the interval, pouring forward with real intent.

    A low, curling cross from Kyogo forces Craig Gordon into a low save, with the ball cannoning off a defender then hacked away near the goal-line by Taylor Moore.

    Lovely footwork from Matt O'Riley inside the Hearts penalty area but the visitors are able to clear from his cutback.

    Daizen Maeda then steals in to get his head on a lofted cross, although it's a simple save for Craig Gordon.

    It's a great call from the linesman for Kyogo's goal. Will officials lose that instinct when we bring in VAR?

    I'm not questioning the quality of Celtic's equaliser; it's a fantastic goal. But it's a clear foul on Sibbick and if the foul is given then it wouldn't have occurred

    Celtic had to go chasing and they've chased really well. The pace has been full-on since that early goal from Simms

  10. HALF-TIME Celtic 2-1 Heartspublished at 45+1 mins

    Celtic are on their way after a shaky start.

    Ellis Simms shot Hearts into an early lead, but the champions-elect found their rhythm about 25 minutes in and started to dominate.

    Japanese pair Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi have provided the goals and Jota laid on both assists.

    Hearts are really hanging on now as half time approaches. It's one-way traffic.

    It should probably be three for Celtic as Matt O'Riley has a long time to size up a looping cross before planting a header on target, but Craig Gordon does well to keep it out.

    Kyogo Furuhashi

    It's a third home goal against Hearts this season for Kyogo Furuhashi as he nods in a back-post knock-down from Jota.

    Craig Gordon claws the ball away but the linesman indicates the ball crossed the line and TV replays vindicate that decision.

    Celtic are in the mood now as a low cross from Kyogo is repelled at the near post.

    Hearts are struggling to get a touch at the moment.

    It's a wonderful counter-attack from Celtic, but that should've been a free-kick on Sibbick in the build-up. It just shows you how good Celtic are on the break, though.

    Daizen Maeda

    Fantastic work from Jota as the Celtic winger takes the ball from halfway to the Hearts penalty area before squaring for Daizen Maeda to ram a shot through the legs of the advancing Craig Gordon.

    Hearts are furious that a challenge from Callum McGregor on Tony Sibbick went unpunished.

    Callum McGregor drives forward from the left and cuts the ball into the path of Kyogo, who cracks a first-time shot on target from 16 yards.

    Again, Craig Gordon gets a strong hand on the ball to shove it away.

    Celtic 0-1 Hearts

    Celtic probe patiently for an opening as Hearts hold a solid shape to limit space.

    The visitors spring a quick counter-attack but Josh Ginnelly is crowded out by two defenders by the time he gets to the penalty area.

    Hearts have done so well so far but I'm starting to think they might be deepening too quickly...

    Celtic 0-1 Hearts

    Daizen Maeda darts in behind the Hearts defence and flashes a great ball across the six yard box. There are two Celtic players steaming in, but neither can get a touch.
