Image for Fourth official shares Levein’s despair at Celtic’s dramatic Tynecastle winner

Two pictures summed up the joy and despair of Celtic’s dramatic last gasp winner over Hearts at Tynecastle.

When Odsonne Edouard’s shot hit the back of the net Neil Lennon set off on a jig along the touchline before being embraced by his new back-room team of John Kennedy and Damien Duff.

Just yards to his right Craig Levein was plunged into abject misery, perhaps only shared by fourth official Steven Kirkland, a member of the Ayrshire Referee Association.

For half an hour it looked like Celtic were going to drop two points in the title race- offering encouragement to others on the back of the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Leicester City.

Edouard replaced Ewan Henderson just past the hour mark and didn’t need a second invite when Scott Brown floated a cross deep into the Hearts penalty box.

Dedryck Boyata took the attention of one Hearts defender allowing the young French striker to sweep the ball into the net as the Celtic fans erupted in joy behind the goal.

Over on the touchline it’s fair to say that there were mixed emotions!
