Review
Celtic blew Hearts away in the first half hour but Lennox's missed penalty when they were leading 1-0 ultimately cost them both points.
Wilson's goal came from a well worked move with Glavin and Deans both involved. Then came Lennox's penalty miss which arose after he'd been brought down by Anderson. Hearts took a lift from that and equalised just before the whistle for half time.
The second half was more open and both teams had chances to win.
