Hearts 0 Celtic 2 as Barrie McKay impresses amid Alex Cochrane VAR drama - three things we learned

Hearts battled against champions Celtic but fell to two late goals at Tynecastle as the push for third and Europe carries on.

It was a quick-fire start when Joe Hart was forced in to a smart save in the first two minutes. Hearts looked the hungrier of the two sides and pressed high while Celtic were loose with the ball. Ange Postecoglou's men barely threatened in the first half an hour before Alex Cochrane was sent off through a VAR review for a tug on Daizen Maeda.

In the second period, Hearts looked to keep afloat being a man down,t hat was until talisman Kyogo stepped up to the plate to knock home a Reo Hatate cross at the near post that dribbled past Zander Clark for his 30th goal of the season. Oh then sealed the deal with a one-touch finish much to the delight of the travelling crowd as Hearts fell to a defeat.
