Hearts Extend 8 Points Clear Clear at Top Following Lawrence Shankland's Penalty Sees Off The Glasgow Giants

A historic moment didn't occur at their home ground, with it being far too early for such achievements. This game highlighted is that Hearts have a genuine strong chance of disrupting Scottish football's 40-year title duopoly. They now lead by eight points for Hearts over Celtic, whom they comfortably swatted aside. Catch them if you can.

Decisive Period in the Latter Period

A crucial three-minute spell were key, once the initial exchanges that was evenly matched. What was so notable after they extended their advantage was how comfortable the remainder of the game was for the home side. The Greek winger doubled the lead, drifting inside before blasting a strike past the static Kasper Schmeichel. Soon there was further euphoria in the stands, Dane Murray upending Cláudio Braga for a penalty that the captain slotted home. Rodgers cut such a disconsolate figure; his problems are mounting.

The Visitors' Fightback

Celtic had actually recovered well from the hosts' quick opening. The defender, who had a difficult day, turned the ball into his own net due to confusion when trying to remove a ball into the box. Celtic edged their way back into the game, skipper McGregor, scoring a Kieran Tierney pass for the equaliser.

Solid Backline

The keeper Schwolow, who had denied from Nygren in the first half, kept out an Arne Engels shot which deflected off Magnússon. Halkett thwarted a Yamada attempt in the dying moments. They comfortably saw out the game as the clock ticked down. “We shall not be moved” has become the popular anthem at Tynecastle. One cannot overlook the excitement.
