It was a moment that you could only get away with if your team is leading 4-0.

With 67 minutes on the clock against Hearts Craig Gordon took a pass back from Craig Gordon with Jake Mulraney racing his way.

The Celtic keeper has had a few worrying moments with the ball at his feet but not yesterday.

Gordon simply passed to himself, chipping the ball up to land back at his feet as the Hearts striker raced past looking to intercept the ball.

Whether Brendan Rodgers approved remains unknown but there is little doubt that the Celtic defence has improved almost as much as the goal scoring department.

Hibs are the only team to have scored against a Celtic side including Filip Benkovic with the on loan defender bringing authority to the hoops defence.

Benkovic isn’t showy or flash but for a 21-year-old he has a brilliant understanding of the game.

If his career was to develop along the lines of Virgil van Dijk it wouldn’t be any surprise.
