🔗 Share this article Hearts Extend 8 Points Clear Clear at the Summit After Shankland's Penalty Kick Sees Off Celtic History wasn't made at Tynecastle, as it's far too early for such achievements. What this match did emphasise is that Hearts are at least in with credible shot of breaking Scottish football's long-standing title duopoly. That advantage stands at eight points for Hearts over the visitors, whom they decisively beat. The challenge is now for others. Turning Point in the Second Half Three second-half minutes made the difference, after an opening period that was fiercely fought. What was so notable after they extended their advantage was how untroubled the rest of the game was for the home side. The Greek winger doubled the lead, moving infield before thumping a right-footed shot past the motionless Kasper Schmeichel. Delight increased in the stands, Dane Murray upending Cláudio Braga for a penalty that Shankland tucked away. The Celtic manager cut such a disconsolate figure; his problems are mounting. Fans start to rejoice after Kyziridis (second right) gives Hearts the lead against Celtic. The Visitors' Fightback Celtic bounced back from an early setback. Murray, who endured a torrid afternoon, conceded an own goal due to haste when trying to remove a ball into the box. Celtic edged their way back into the game, skipper Callum McGregor, scoring a Tierney cutback for 1-1. Solid Backline The Hearts goalkeeper Schwolow, who had saved superbly from Benjamin Nygren in the first half, parried an Arne Engels shot which touched Tómas Magnússon. Halkett thwarted a Yamada attempt in added time. They comfortably saw out the game as the clock ticked down. “We shall not be moved” has become the popular anthem at Tynecastle. It's hard to ignore the buzz. Detailed coverage to follow.
