We did not witness at their home ground, as it's far too early for such landmarks. This game highlighted is that Hearts have a genuine strong chance of disrupting Scottish football's long-standing stranglehold. Make that an eight-point lead for the team over the visitors, whom they easily dispatched. The challenge is now for others.
Three second-half minutes made the difference, once the initial exchanges that was contested closely. What was so notable after Hearts surged 3-1 in front was how stress-free the remainder of the game was for the Tynecastle team. The Greek winger netted the second goal, drifting inside before thumping a right-footed shot past the static the Celtic keeper. More joy followed in the stands, the Celtic defender upending Braga for a foul that Shankland slotted home. The Celtic manager looked dejected; he hardly has his troubles to seek.

The away side responded positively from an early setback. The defender, who had a difficult day, scored an own goal due to haste when trying to remove a ball into the box. The Hoops worked their way into the game, the captain McGregor, finishing a Kieran Tierney pass for 1-1.
The Hearts goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow, who had saved superbly from Nygren in the first half, kept out an Arne Engels shot which flicked off MagnĂșsson. Halkett thwarted a Yamada attempt in added time. The hosts faced little else as the game concluded. âWe shall not be movedâ has become the Tynecastle verse of choice at the stadium. One cannot overlook the buzz.
