Celtic stormed into the Scottish Cup semi finals with another relentless, remorseless show of attacking football to end Hearts’ interest in the competition.
Ange Postecoglou’s side dominated at Tynecastle from the first whistle and could have won by a greater margin than the three goals scored by Aaron Mooy, Kyogo and Cameron Carter-Vickers. The visitors blew their hosts away with the intensity of their start, rampaging down the left almost straight from kick-off, Sead Haksabanovic - in for Daizen Maeda - getting in behind Michael Smith to set up a shooting chance for Reo Hatate and the midfielder thunderous effort was touched over the top by Jambos’ captain for the day, Zander Clark.
Postecoglou’s disappointment at not going a goal up in the first minute was forgotten when they went ahead in the second minute. This time the danger came from Jota on the right and when the Portuguese delivered his cross, Mooy met it first time to slam a 12 yard shot high past the keeper.
