🔗 Share this article The Jambos Push Eight Points Ahead Ahead at the Summit Following Lawrence Shankland's Penalty Kick Overcomes The Glasgow Giants History wasn't made at Tynecastle, since it's far too early for such milestones. The encounter underlined is that the Edinburgh club have a genuine credible shot of disrupting Scottish football's four decade-long dominance by two. That advantage stands at eight points for the team over Celtic, whom they comfortably swatted aside. Catch them if you can. Turning Point in the Second Half A brief but pivotal phase made the difference, following a tight first half that was evenly matched. The striking aspect after they took a 3-1 lead was how untroubled the remainder of the game was for the home side. Alexandros Kyziridis scored Hearts’ second, drifting inside before firing a powerful effort past the static Kasper Schmeichel. Soon there was further euphoria in the stands, Murray upending the Hearts player for a penalty that the captain tucked away. Brendan Rodgers appeared frustrated; his problems are mounting. The crowd erupted after Kyziridis (second right) puts Hearts 2-1 up against the opposition. Celtic's Response The away side responded positively from an early setback. Murray, who endured a torrid afternoon, scored an own goal due to confusion when trying to remove a ball into the box. They gradually fought back into the game, the captain McGregor, turning home a Kieran Tierney cutback for 1-1. Hearts' Defensive Resilience The shot-stopper Alexander Schwolow, who had made a brilliant stop from Nygren in the first half, kept out an Arne Engels shot which flicked off Tómas Magnússon. Halkett blocked a Yamada attempt in added time. They comfortably saw out the game as the clock ticked down. “We remain resolute” has become the popular anthem at the ground. It's hard to ignore the noise. Complete analysis coming soon.
