A historic moment didn't occur at their home ground, as it's far too early for such achievements. The encounter underlined is that Hearts possess a real strong chance of ending Scottish football's long-standing title duopoly. They now lead by eight points for the maroon side over their rivals, whom they decisively beat. Try to chase them down.
Three second-half minutes proved decisive, following a tight first half that was evenly matched. The striking aspect after Hearts surged 3-1 in front was how stress-free the remainder of the game was for the hosts. Kyziridis scored Hearts’ second, moving infield before blasting a strike past the stationary Kasper Schmeichel. More joy followed in the stands, Dane Murray bringing down Braga for a foul that the captain converted. The Celtic manager appeared frustrated; his problems are mounting.
The crowd erupted after Alexandros Kyziridis (second right) puts Hearts 2-1 up against the opposition.
Celtic bounced back from the hosts' quick opening. Murray, who had a difficult day, conceded an own goal due to confusion when trying to clear a delivery from Shankland. They gradually fought back into the game, the captain Callum McGregor, finishing a Tierney pass for level terms.
The shot-stopper Schwolow, who had denied from Nygren in the first half, parried an Arne Engels shot which flicked off Magnússon. Halkett thwarted a Shin Yamada attempt in the dying moments. They comfortably saw out the game as the game concluded. “We shall not be moved” has become the favoured chant at Tynecastle. It is becoming increasingly difficult the buzz.
