Hearts Push Eight Points Clear at the Summit After Lawrence Shankland's Penalty Kick Sees Off Celtic
History wasn't made at Tynecastle, with it being far too early for such landmarks. The encounter underlined is that Hearts are at least in with serious opportunity of ending Scottish football's 40-year dominance by two. They now lead by eight points for the maroon side over the visitors, whom they decisively beat. The challenge is now for others.
Decisive Period in the After the Break
Three second-half minutes were key, once the initial exchanges that was evenly matched. What was so notable after Hearts surged 3-1 in front was how stress-free the rest of the game was for the Tynecastle team. Kyziridis doubled the lead, moving infield before thumping a right-footed shot past the static Kasper Schmeichel. Delight increased in the stands, Dane Murray fouling Cláudio Braga for a foul that the captain tucked away. The Celtic manager looked dejected; challenges abound for him.

Hoops' Reaction
Celtic had actually recovered well from an early setback. The defender, who struggled throughout, turned the ball into his own net due to haste when trying to clear a Shankland cross. Celtic edged their way back into the game, the captain Callum McGregor, scoring a Kieran Tierney pull-back for 1-1.
Stubborn Defence
The Hearts goalkeeper Schwolow, who had saved superbly from Nygren in the first half, kept out an Arne Engels shot which touched Magnússon. Halkett blocked a Shin Yamada attempt in stoppage time. The hosts faced little else as the minutes passed. “We stand firm” has become the favoured chant at the ground. It is becoming increasingly difficult the buzz.
