Hearts 0 Celtic 3 as Jambos crash out of Scottish Cup in sobering Tynecastle loss - three things we learned

Hearts crashed out of the Scottish Cup after a devastating home loss to Celtic.

Robbie Neilson’s side were hoping to return to Hampden after reaching the final last season, but they suffered the worst possible start after Aaron Mooy ghosted into the box unchallenged to slot home. That early setback seemed to rattle the hosts with the Tynecastle faithful growing frustrated as the men in maroon struggled to gain any momentum.

Hearts came to life around the 20 minute mark, but were unable to make a spell of pressure count. Tony Sibbick was denied by Joe Hart after a fine strike as Hearts started to pile on the pressure after the attack fizzled out.
