    Nieuwenhof gave the ball away under no pressure to start that attack.

    He didn't track the runner for the first goal, and he's blindly passed the ball straight to Celtic for the second.

    Goal given. About half a yard on in the end.

    GOAL! Hearts 0-2 Celticpublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 22 October 2023

    Daizen Maeda

    Another superb goal, but it's all too easy.

    Reo Hatate gets to the bye-line then fires across to compatriot Daizen Maeda, who has the simplest of tap-ins.

    Looks a tight one though...

    Matt O'Riley, who has been very, very good so far, tees up Luis Palma about 20 yards from goal.

    The winger drags it well wide though.

    Daizen Maeda takes a touch inside then rifles one with his left peg.

    Zander Clark has to react quickly to beat the ball behind at the top corner.

    Greg Taylor ends up with acres of space on the left of the Hearts box, but his shot on the right foot is blocked by a Hearts man.

    Kenneth Vargas is getting some joy in behind playing as a centre forward.

    Calem Nieuwenhof sends him through, but a fierce strike towards the near post is parried behind by Joe Hart.

    Celtic survive the corner.

    Decent spell of possession from Hearts comes to nothing as Alex Lowry's fizzed ball can't be controlled by Kenneth Vargas.

    Lovely skill from the Rangers loanee to make a yard before the pass.

    The first 10 minutes have gone by in a flash.

    Hearts will be fuming at shipping an early goal, but they've shown they're still well in this.

    I was just waiting on Shankland to appear at the back post to tap that home.

    Instead he put the brakes on expecting a cut-back.

    Some start to this one as Daizen Maeda is now down the right, but the Japan forward's cross is poor.

    Alex Cochrane does much better with a cross of his own up the other end, but no Hearts attacker is there to tap in.

    Celtic look to add a second as Matt O'Riley bends in a free-kick from the left, but Cameron Carter-Vickers can't connect cleanly.

    Hearts race up the other end and Alex Lowry is eventually shut out by Greg Taylor.

    Matt O'Riley is the outstanding player in Scotland this season.

    It was difficult for the goalkeeper to come out, but Nieuwenhof is to blame - he just lets O'Riley run in behind.

    What a fantastic strike and run from Matt O'Riley.

    Great pass, great run, perfect timing.

    It's him again.

    What a goal it is from Matt O'Riley, who runs on to a Luis Palma dink over the top and volleys first time past Zander Clark into the far corner.

    A stunning finish.

    Looks like Kenneth Vargas is playing as the central striker for Hearts today.

    Lawrence Shankland just off him as a number 10.

    Alistair Johnston lets Lawrence Shankland know he's there inside the first minute, catching him late on the left.

    In the free-kick comes, it's a dangerous one, but Joe Hart eventually claims.
