🔗 Share this article The Tynecastle side Move 8 Points Ahead in Front at the Summit After Lawrence Shankland's Penalty Defeats The Glasgow Giants History wasn't made at Tynecastle Park, with it being far too early for such achievements. The encounter underlined is that Heart of Midlothian are at least in with serious opportunity of breaking Scottish football's 40-year title duopoly. They now lead by eight points for the team over Celtic, whom they comfortably swatted aside. Catch them if you can. Decisive Period in the After the Break A crucial three-minute spell made the difference, following a tight first half that was evenly matched. What was so notable after they took a 3-1 lead was how untroubled the remainder of the game was for the home side. Alexandros Kyziridis doubled the lead, cutting in from the left before blasting a strike past the static the Celtic keeper. More joy followed in the stands, the Celtic defender upending Braga for a foul that Shankland slotted home. Rodgers appeared frustrated; challenges abound for him. Fans start to rejoice after Kyziridis (second right) gives Hearts the lead against the opposition. Hoops' Reaction Celtic had actually recovered well from the hosts' quick opening. The defender, who struggled throughout, scored an own goal due to panic when trying to remove a delivery from Shankland. Celtic edged their way back into the game, the captain Callum McGregor, scoring a Kieran Tierney cutback for 1-1. Solid Backline The shot-stopper Schwolow, who had saved superbly from Nygren in the first half, kept out an Arne Engels shot which flicked off Tómas Magnússon. Craig 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 favoured chant at the stadium. One cannot overlook the excitement. Full report to follow.
