Hearts Stun Celtic to pull clear at summit

Hearts ruined Wilfried Nancy’s debut as Celtic manager with victory in Glasgow to move three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Claudio Braga, who the hosts thought was offside, robbed Callum McGregor and tucked away the visitors’ surprise opener. Braga was played onside by Arne Engels.
And Oisin McEntee emphatically headed Derek McInnes’ side into a 2-0 lead from Harry Milne’s corner.
However, there was a suspicion of offside against Lawrence Shankland when winning the set piece.
Engels was denied by a stunning Alexander Schwolow save and, in the aftermath, Reo Hatate volleyed against the crossbar.
Celtic eventually registered through Kieran Tierney’s added-time volley.
Celtic have a game in hand over Hearts, as do Rangers. Motherwell and the Ibrox side trail Celtic by six points following Saturday wins.
A raft of changes pitched more and more Celtic players in attacking roles late in the game and Nancy was regularly seen issuing instructions to captain McGregor.
McInnes’ men were ever more galvanised as the match wore on, however, getting first to the ball to break up attacks and always poised ready to mount counter attacks. They make it successive wins over Celtic in the league this term.
