Celtic’s player ratings and goal highlights against Hearts were rated as 8/10 (rock solid), but the 5/10 rating was disappointing once more.

Celtic went three points and 11 points clear of Aberdeen and Rangers, respectively, as a magnificent second-half performance downed Hearts at Tynecastle.

 

Celtic player ratings and goal highlights vs Hearts were 8/10 rock solid, but 5/10 disappointed once again.

 

 

Much of the Bhoys’ play was sluggish and predictable, which hindered their ability to establish a rhythm from the outset. Callum McGregor’s influence was diminished, and Nicolas Kuhn likely focused more on defense than offense in the initial stages.

 

 

Craig Gordon, the goalkeeper for Hearts, was not subjected to much pressure during the first half, as the Bhoys were significantly below their typical tempo and quality at the break.

 

Nevertheless, Celtic’s lack of productivity was transformed into total ruthlessness during the second period, resulting in a significant shift in the dynamics.

 

Kyogo scored shortly after the resumption, but Craig Gordon saved his initial attempt. Subsequently, Kuhn, who was in excellent form, scored a stunning goal to make it 2-0.

 

The substitutions made by Celtic were instrumental in providing the team with a newfound energy. In the 78th minute, Celtic’s third goal was scored by

 

 

Adam Idah, who was on the field for only a few minutes. Idah converted a late penalty to secure yet another three points and go three clear at the summit of the Premiership, despite Hearts pulling a goal back through their own sub Musa Drammeh.

 

 

After a resounding 4-1 victory over Hearts, our Celtic player ratings are as follows. Kasper Schmeichel – six Blair Spittal and James Penrice promptly compelled him to act.

 

 

They did not appear to be in significant difficulty during the second half; however, they did prevent Cammy Devlin from scoring.

 

 

Alistair Johnston – six In the initial half, James Penrice frequently penetrated the Canadian defense. Substituted for Anthony Ralston after approximately 70 minutes.

 

Cameron Carter-Vickers – seven The impact of his presence at Celtic’s defense is extremely significant.

 

Denied Alan Forrest’s goal-bound attempt with an exceptional block. He never appears to be perturbed. Auston Trusty is eight years old.

 

 

By the week, this dependable defender is proving to be well worth the £6 million that was paid for him. Maintained a low profile about Lawrence Shankland and Alan Forrest.
