Celtic progressed to a Premier Sports Cup quarter-final against Raith Rovers that more comfort than the 3-2 scoreline against Hearts suggests.
It was the fourth win in a row for Ange Postecoglou’s new look side that has racked up an impressive 16 goals over that spell.
How Hearts got off the pitch at half-time only trailing by two goals is something of a mystery but the goals from Odsonne Edouard and Stephen Welsh were both well created and executed.
Kyogo Furuhashi’s pass to James Forrest cut the Hearts defence apart for the first while quick thinking from Edouard created the cross for Welsh to head in the second.
Fans favourite Kyogo Furuhashi smashed home Celtic’s third and while two goals lost will be something of a concern after a season of frustration locked indoors Celtic fans are loving their return to football and the way Ange Postecoglou’s side are playing.
