Review
This was a cracking game which could have went either way.
Celtic started well and in 4 minutes Jardine cleared a Johnston shot off the line. However in 9 minutes Robertson scored from a header following a short corner.
Hearts had the better of the first half but Celtic came at them in the second and Smith made great saves from McStay and Archdeacon. Celtic equalised when Aitken's long pass was touched on to McGhee by Johnton and McGhee turned Black superbly and fired in a low shot.
Both sides pressed in the closing stages but a draw was a fair result.
