Celtic edged past Hearts 2-0 in their latest Premiership match as they kept up their 100% start to their league title defence with a fourth straight win, moving clear in first spot ahead of Rangers.
Number two Jambos goalkeeper Ross Stewart was picking the ball out of his Parkhead net after 13 minutes when Kyogo Furuhashi once again netted against Hearts. Celtic proceeded to dominate proceedings and carved open their visitors time and time again as a second goal looked a case of when not if.
A Europa League play-off second leg with FC Zurich, where they need to overturn a 2-1 deficit, this Thursday coming was clearly on Hearts minds as they made seven changes. Celtic meanwhile were at full strength but did have to ride a storm in the second half when their foes provided questions for their defence. Matt O'Riley and Reo Hatate both went close to doubling the lead but their scoring finished at 1 with 12 points from 12 already secure.
