Celtic 3 Hearts 1 as Jambos face Josh Ginnelly sweat, VAR plays major role - 3 things we learned

Hearts can hold their heads high after battling to a narrow 3-1 defeat to league leaders Celtic - despite missing key men in Lawrence Shankland and Robert Snodgrass.

Hearts have been in top form all season, and looked for an unlikely win in the east end of Glasgow to strengthen their position as the third best team in the country. That narrative got off to a dream start as Josh Ginnelly turned home from a superb cross after just six minutes.

But Celtic's patience told, and Daizen Maeda's carbon copy goal levelled the affair on the half hour mark. It took some time for Celtic to get going, but Kyogo soon breached the hatches after an hour with a rasping drive, and Sead Haksabanovic killed the tie off with a brilliant curling effort towards the end. Robbie Neilson will be looking ahead of the game at the weekend to deliver his revenge. Edinburgh Live Sport takes a look at three talking points from Glasgow.
