CELTIC OVERCAME A shaky first-half display to defeat Hearts 4-1 at Tynecastle and move three points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the William Hill Premiership.
But the champions managed to subdue pumped-up Hearts in the second half and their class shone through as they pulled away through goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn and substitute Adam Idah, who hit a double either side of a consolation strike from home sub Musa Drammeh. Celtic made two changes from their 2-0 win at Kilmarnock as Liam Scales and Idah made way for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Kyogo.
At the other end, Hoops forward Daizen Maeda glanced a free header over the bar from Callum McGregor’s cross to the edge of the six-yard box. Hearts’ supporters were revelling in the sight of their side forcing Celtic into a string of uncharacteristic mistakes and they forced another opportunity in the 41st minute but Alan Forrest’s powerful strike from the edge of the box was brilliantly charged down by Carter-Vickers.
