The Tynecastle side Move 8 Points Clear Clear at the Summit Following Lawrence Shankland's Penalty Sees Off The Glasgow Giants

A historic moment didn't occur at their home ground, with it being far too early for such achievements. What this match did emphasise is that the Edinburgh club possess a real strong chance of ending Scottish football's long-standing stranglehold. That advantage stands at eight points for Hearts over the visitors, whom they decisively beat. Catch them if you can.

Turning Point in the Second Half

Three second-half minutes proved decisive, once the initial exchanges that was evenly matched. The striking aspect after they extended their advantage was how comfortable the closing stages of the game was for the Tynecastle team. Alexandros Kyziridis scored Hearts’ second, drifting inside before thumping a right-footed shot past the motionless the goalkeeper. More joy followed in the stands, Dane Murray bringing down the Hearts player for a foul that Shankland tucked away. Brendan Rodgers looked dejected; his problems are mounting.

Fans start to rejoice after Alexandros Kyziridis (second right) puts Hearts 2-1 up against the opposition.

Hoops' Reaction

The away side responded positively from Hearts’ rapid start. Dane Murray, who endured a torrid afternoon, conceded an own goal due to confusion when trying to clear a Shankland cross. Celtic edged their way back into the game, the captain Callum McGregor, scoring a Tierney cutback for level terms.

Stubborn Defence

The keeper Alexander Schwolow, who had made a brilliant stop from Benjamin Nygren in the first half, kept out an Engels shot which flicked off Tómas Magnússon. Craig Halkett stopped a Shin Yamada attempt in the dying moments. They comfortably saw out the game as the minutes passed. “We shall not be moved” has become the popular anthem at the ground. One cannot overlook the buzz.
