The Tynecastle side Extend Eight Points Ahead Clear at the Summit Following Lawrence Shankland's Penalty Kick Overcomes The Glasgow Giants

A historic moment didn't occur at Tynecastle, with it being far too early for such landmarks. The encounter underlined is that the Edinburgh club are at least in with strong chance of disrupting Scottish football's long-standing dominance by two. They now lead by eight points for the maroon side over the visitors, whom they easily dispatched. Catch them if you can.

Key Moments in the After the Break

A brief but pivotal phase were key, after an opening period that was evenly matched. What was so notable after they took a 3-1 lead was how stress-free the remainder of the game was for the home side. Kyziridis netted the second goal, moving infield before blasting a strike past the stationary Kasper Schmeichel. Delight increased in the stands, Murray upending Cláudio Braga for a penalty that Shankland converted. The Celtic manager cut such a disconsolate figure; his problems are mounting.

The Visitors' Fightback

Celtic had actually recovered well from Hearts’ rapid start. Murray, who struggled throughout, conceded an own goal due to confusion when trying to clear a delivery from Shankland. Celtic edged their way back into the game, the captain Callum McGregor, finishing a Tierney pass for the equaliser.

Hearts' Defensive Resilience

The Hearts goalkeeper Schwolow, who had saved superbly from Nygren in the first half, parried an Arne Engels shot which flicked off Magnússon. Craig Halkett blocked a Shin Yamada attempt in the dying moments. Hearts were otherwise untroubled as the minutes passed. “We shall not be moved” has become the Tynecastle verse of choice at Tynecastle. It's hard to ignore the excitement.
