John Hartson has questioned the strength of the Scottish Premiership after Celtic’s convincing 3-0 Scottish Cup win over Hearts.
Robbie Neilson’s team had been tipped to make life difficult for the champions at Tynecastle, but Aaron Mooy’s strike after just two minutes set them on their way to a relatively easy victory as Kyogo and Cameron Carter-Vickers added two more to join Inverness CT in the last four and secure a return to Hampden.
There’s a gulf between Celtic and everybody else in the league, but Hartson has questioned the quality of teams outside the top three given the Hoops were streets ahead of the third best in the country. He acknowledged that the Jambos were missing too many key players to have a realistic chance of causing a cup upset, but still sees them as best of the rest and doubts any of those below them will be able to reel them in. The Old Firm have now scored 14 goals between them at Tynecastle this season.
