Review
Celtic looked jaded after their trip to Switzerland in midweek. A tough game which Celtic did well to survive.
Hunter was injured early on and did not look happy in his movement. Hearts threw everything at them and hit the woodwork three times through Ford, Stevenson and Aird.
Celtic's winner was well worked. Murray sent McGrain down the right flank and his perfect cross eluded two defenders and allowed Deans to score at the back post.
McGrain was also injured and had to be substituted.
