Joe Hart admits he loved every minute of Celtic's win over Hearts as he made a quip about Cameron Carter-Vickers at Tynecastle.
The Hoops No1 made a huge stop from Toby Sibbick in the capital as his side went on to dump the Jambos 3-0 and reach the semi-final of the Scottish Cup. That result books Ange Postecoglou and his troops another day out at Hampden and keeps their Treble dreams alive with just one game now between them and the Scottish Cup Final.
The League Cup is already in the bag while the champions also boast a nine point lead over Old Firm rivals Rangers in the Premiership standings with just ten games to go this season. It was Celtic's second win in the space of a few days over Hearts having responded from an early setback at Parkhead to win 3-1 under the lights midweek.

Veteran stopper Hart once again hailed the travelling support in the capital as 'amazing' and even made a joke at the expense of his team-mate - who scored the third and game sealing strike with just ten minutes to play after Aaron Mooy and Kyogo Furuhashi had the visitors in a commanding position at the half-time interval.
Alongside a series of pictures from the game, Hart wrote: "Massive win.. it must be a good day if CCV is smiling. Amazing support, loved it #COYBIG."
On the result, Postecoglou told the Celtic website: “I’m really pleased, we knew this was going to be a challenging week for us with three games, two of them away from home and a big cup game to end the week, so I’m really pleased with the way that the lads have handled that.
‘We got off to a great start today and that set us off, so it was a really strong performance away from home.’
“I thought that was important today, when you come to Tynecastle you don’t want to give their crowd too much to be up about, particularly early in the game.
“So we spoke about that – again, speaking about it is one thing, but the lads really got into the game really quickly and with the quality of our football, we had a chance really early on and scored a good goal.
“The most important thing is that we didn’t really give them any oxygen to get a breather in that first part, and I thought that sent us away.”
