Chris Sutton enjoyed a ring side seat of another spectacular Celtic attacking performance as Ange Postecoglou’s side reached the last eight of the Premier Sports Cup.
The 3-2 scoreline was no reflection of the balance of play with Celtic swarming all over the Jambos and peppering Craig Gordon with shots from all angles.
Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring when he finished off a brilliant move triggered by Kyogo Furuhashi and James Forrest.
In the 34th minute Stephen Welsh brilliantly headed Celtic 2-0 in front following a quickly taken corner kick.
Celtic 3-2 Hearts. Brilliant advert for Scottish football ??

Hearts pulled a goal back from the penalty spot in the 57th minute through Liam Boyce but six minutes later Kyogo restored Celtic’s two goal lead.
Aaron McEnuff pulled a goal back in stoppage time that took a slight shine off the final scoreline but after a year of watching turgid football on a stream Celtic fans have enjoyed three great games in eight days.
Absolutely devastating from Celtic’s front 3! ?
