Hearts moved three points clear at the top of the Premiership with an impressive 2-1 win over Celtic in Glasgow.
Goals from Claudio Braga and Oisin McEntee made it a debut to forget for new Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy, who changed his team’s shape in a tactical move that backfired. They did score a stoppage-time goal through Kieran Tierney - but it was not enough to spark a fightback.
The Hearts players celebrated wildly at full time after putting in a performance full of grit and determination. They took their chances well and have only lost one game all season. They have played a game more than Celtic but could move six points ahead next weekend if they beat Falkirk while Celtic are on Premier Sports Cup final duty against St Mirren.
Nancy’s Celtic side face Roma on Thursday in the Europa League as they try to bounce back from this defeat.
We give each player a mark out of ten for their performances at Celtic Park.

5. Kieran Tierney
Celtic's best player. Added quality from a left-sided defensive area and took his goal very well at the end. 7 | SNS Group

6. Michael Steinwender
Came in at right-back and put in a good shift. Correctly booked for a sliding tackle on Engels. Didn't let anybody down. 7 | PA

7. Craig Halkett
Take a bow, Mr Halkett. A dominant display at centre-half, largely policing Maeda well and bringing physicality as well as organisation to the Hearts backline. Barely put a foot wrong before making way for Kent. 9 | SNS Group

8. Stuart Findlay
His combination with Halkett is one of the reasons why Hearts sit top of the league. A calm presence and did his job very well, holding firm when Celtic were in the ascendancy. 8 | SNS Group
