It was probably the most pressurised, stressful match of the season, fortunately at the end of 95 plus minutes Celtic had overcome the odds to claim full points.
Nick Walsh went beyond the five minutes stoppage time indicated, Hearts constantly shelled the ball into the Celtic penalty box but eventually the final whistle was blown.
Instantly Ange Postecoglou felt the relief being shared by thousands of Celtic fans watching on television.

It was a bizarre match utterly dominated by the officials as they toyed with VAR to produce a match that would never been as close if Tony Ralston’s goal had stood or if Celtic had been awarded and scored a first half penalty.
At his Friday media conference Postecoglou said he was ambivalent to VAR, not many lip readers would have picked that out from his comments above.
