00:00half Chris Sutton's alongside Ian Crocker. Well it's a perfect setting this for Jota who made
00:05his return as a sub at Motherwell last week after 18 months out and listen to the noise at Celtic
00:10Park as he makes his return here. He has won eight out of eight games against Hearts. I think he's
00:18got a pretty good chance of making it nine out of nine. He has replaced Callum Osmond who won't
00:23be scoring a hat-trick but has made another big contribution for Celtic in the limited action
00:31that he has seen at the club.
00:40Hearts defending has been absolutely comical and if there's one team you don't want to give any
00:46encouragement to it's Celtic because they can still do this to teams.
00:53Feels like it could be a long long long second half of Hearts Chris. Yeah I mean it'll just be
01:01interesting to see how they they approach this second half. Are they going to go toe-to-toe as
01:07they did in the first half and were ruthlessly exposed, underestimated Celtic. Are they going to try and
01:15shut up shop a bit because this I mean it's already embarrassing. How much more embarrassing could it get?
01:23I mean it's already.
01:27Jamie McCart.
01:31Stephen Kingsley.
01:35McPeak.
01:43Kieran Tierney who started the scoring spree.
02:01It's a bit of like for like with the hearts change. Magnusson now for McEntee.
02:07The Celtic. Common sense there, Osmond. Job done. Perfect chance to give Jota some more minutes.
02:16Yeah and Kahnemosson hasn't played much football.
02:22But he's certainly marked his first senior start in some style with that first half double.
02:31Five goals and Camilo Duran hasn't scored yet. Let's see.
02:46I'm going to go ahead of Gendouz.
02:49I'm going to go ahead of Gendouz.
02:50I'm going to go ahead of Gendouz.
03:03I'm going to go ahead of Gendouz.
03:18Gendouz takes out Altanar.
03:19It's eventually had the same amount of shots as Celtic remarkably.
03:28there we go 11 all but celtics xg is much better here i know you like that sort of thing
03:40negrin hassan
03:44celtic on the front foot looking for number six came off the back of negrin
03:54braga we'll get the free kick off scales we've run from colby donovan there
03:59just taking the eye of kingsley and cassandra come on the inside
04:07well it's gonna be a yellow card here for jotter for that
04:16short free kick wasn't it jotter's showing his studs
04:21plunging in
04:27his return against mother wall was his 100th game for celtic a long time in the waiting
04:37game
04:37just the 33 goals and 27 assists for jotter
04:42kieran tierney surging forward here
04:45and there it is
04:52which is new would happen for caccia camillo he's got it on the act to score celtic's sixth goal
05:03well no change from hearts they keep wanting to go toe to toe
05:09cure and tierney clever ball delightful finish they're just exposed celtic running the ball back
05:16countering wonderful finish just that awareness that vision there's the ball
05:23on its way from tierney tidger and he peels off he knows where he wants to put it and he
05:28executes it
05:29superbly superbly that's the finish of a classy striker wraps his left foot around it backs off and
05:40there you go wonderful
05:45it's finishing to the corner yeah finishing it's just top class isn't it absolutely
05:52his movement superb he knows exactly what he wants to do
05:55he knows exactly what he wants to do
05:58kieran tierney was allowed to travel a long way to set him up a yellow card for mika bauer
06:05brainless from bauer isn't it your six one up
06:10carry on running forward
06:15braga
06:18kieran tierney experienced this for hearts 6-1 down early in the second half
06:27calvin miller
06:29left it by sinisano
06:49karts might be making more changes with rogers matto and sabba coyota possibles
06:56from the bench donovan has lost this to guendouz
07:01donovan will get a yellow card now that's three quick yellow cards for celtic and a free kick for
07:07hearts we've seen plenty of daft defending on show today donovan trying to dribble out and
07:14kindouz on the shift donovan brings him down good shooting position this for hearts
07:19it's jota power and donovan booked in a matter of minutes
07:24stephen kingsley might well fancy this although could be a few contenders but uh
07:30we've seen him score from range a few times over the years in fact he scored a
07:36pretty good freaky here years back if i remember in a 2-0 win
07:52can stephen kingsley repeat that feat of 2023
08:02by scoring a free kick here
08:05where's your answer off the wall and taken by sinisano
08:09and duran is on the move now good throw from sinisano hovas racing to catch up
08:24calvin miller and josh mcpake will be the players to go off shortly
08:30for coyota and matto
08:44hassan skipped away from that fake
08:51freegan walcott clears and again
09:04he's he's upset i think it is a foul he needs to be careful i wonder whether
09:11he's thinking about a change he clips him from behind
09:17well it hasn't happened for calvin miller or josh mcpake here
09:23so rogers matto coming on and saber coyota who can certainly cross the ball
09:32coyota on as a sub for the fifth match running and the 11th time this season the arbanian
09:42duran
09:55is
10:29Magnussen looking for Braga but taken off his toes by Dame Murray, Mika Bauer now.
10:53Scales. Bad knees for Artes, there's still 35 minutes to go.
11:25Duran is up to nine goals for Celtic now.
11:31Colby Donovan got the better of Mato.
11:37Certainly packed a punch, he can strike a ball quite well, Colby Donovan.
11:41Thumped that, didn't he?
11:53Jota. Duran, Negren, Jota.
11:59That's a free kick in a promising position for Celtic.
12:03Andre Jota might just fancy it.
12:13Negren.
12:15He also has a free kick history against Hearts, scored one at Tyne Castle last season.
12:34David Dickinson having words with Claudio Braga on what has been a non-event for Hearts and Celtic are going
12:42to make more changes shortly.
12:47Three of them by the look of it.
12:49But first this free kick.
12:59Negren!
13:00Not far off from repeating this free kick at Tyne Castle last season.
13:06Yeah, he thought there was a slight nick off the wall.
13:10I can't really tell from that, he's not far away.
13:15Ooh, Jota had his eyes set on that free kick too.
13:19Here he is.
13:31Sounds like we're going to give a debut to Landon Emanalo shortly.
13:43Here it's Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kasper Hu will be coming on.
13:49Hu for Duran.
13:50Emanalo for this one with Tyne.
13:52Oxlade-Chamberlain for MacGregor.
13:54Here is Duran then, who's about to be replaced.
13:57Will he have a parting shot?
13:59He does, but he's blocked.
14:01Oh, look at that.
14:03This is an incredible mindset from Hearts.
14:07They just keep going for it.
14:08They leave the centre of the park empty.
14:14Hassan.
14:18Gonna let it go for the corner.
14:31Okay, Murray.
14:34Catching Genduz.
14:40They want to make this triple change now.
14:44Well, Kasper Hu's had trouble scoring since his hamstring against Kilmarnock.
14:48This could be the day for him against Hearts, the way they're playing.
14:52First of all, Cameron McGregor will take a breather as he's replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
14:59Camillo Duran, who scored the sixth of Celtic's goals, will be replaced by Kasper Hu.
15:06And Kieran Tierney can get a bit more time off as he is replaced by Landon Emanalo, 18-year-old
15:16on loan from Chelsea, who comes on for his Celtic debut.
15:22Well, took a while to get there, didn't he, Landon Emanalo, but got some minutes in his legs now, Kasper
15:29Hu.
15:31May get one or two opportunities.
15:34Try and get a bit of confidence up.
15:36And the top's late-Chamberlain just slot in front of that Celtic back line in the McGregor role.
15:45Kasper Hu has had a tough time since his first half hat-trick at Kilmarnock.
15:49He's only scored in one of his last 18 games for club and country, but...
15:57This might be the day for him.
16:05Let's have a man down.
16:08Hassan is carrying on in time.
16:11And look at him go.
16:14Stephen Kingsley's still down.
16:16Hassan!
16:17And his cross blocked by Makar.
16:25Kingsley is getting back to his feet just about.
16:29It's been a sore day for all the Hearts players.
16:36Kingsley getting there first, taking a knock in the back.
16:41Let's go!
16:46Let's go!
16:58Let's go!
17:00To for a second.
17:01Celtic returning here after losing to Rangers, but a very different outcome on this occasion.
17:11Scales dealing comfortably with Braga.
17:14Gendouz, now Matto, Gendouz, Kingsley, met by Scales, Matto, blocked by Oxlade-Chamberlain, Donovan won't let Braga in.
17:39Gendouz is getting better and better physically, probably Donovan used his body well there, his work cut out with Alistair
17:52Johnston, back soon I think.
18:03There is a suggestion that Alistair Johnston might be back in the coming week.
18:11You've got some contacts you.
18:16I just listen to what other people are saying.
18:24Magnussen.
18:29Braga.
18:32Matto available.
18:37Nadia Braga unlikely to beat Sinisaro like that.
18:41The game is just wildly open, it's like a Vets game isn't it?
18:52Gaspahou.
18:54Gaspahou.
18:55Gaspahou.
18:59Gaspahou leaves it for Emanalo.
19:03Gaspahou.
19:06Gaspahou.
19:07Gaspahou.
19:09Gaspahou.
19:10Gaspahou.
19:11Gaspahou.
19:12Gaspahou.
19:13Gaspahou.
19:15Gaspahou.
19:16Gaspahou.
19:17Gaspahou.
19:17Gaspahou.
19:18Gaspahou.
19:21Pitching up the Celtic fans who have welcomed his return.
19:33his last premiership goal was against hearts here back in march of last year
19:43and scales asking
19:47mika bauer descended in his direction
20:00in by bauer royce couldn't quite get to it scales back for bauer
20:09negrin jotter here's bauer jota just moved in on him
20:27that was a lovely touch from jotter
20:30outside of the boot celtic left-hand side will be interesting in weeks to come when yang gets fit
20:35you've got jota callum osmond now
20:41tenekti who started didn't he on thursday
20:45but not seen
20:46it's a shot with the layoff here for negrin
20:59three kick for negrin yes uh tenekti isn't injured but isn't in the match day squad today
21:06martin o'neill said he would be back on thursday and celtic play celta celta vigo
21:22hassan
21:31in the narlo
21:36donovan
21:40hassan
21:57i think he's so difficult to play against always positive
22:04go both ways a bit heavy with the cross there
22:11want to work back defensively and that's that's the issue with him
22:20him and a few wingers
22:22matto
22:23is
22:34is
22:34is
22:34is
22:40is
23:03Kingsley, Gendus.
23:16James Forrest will be next to join us in place of Hassan shortly.
23:46The game goes into its final quarter but has long since been done and dusted.
23:52So it's like 5-1 up at the break, 6-1 up early in the second half.
23:58Coyota helps it on here looking for Braga.
24:24Coyota.
24:30Just over from Coyota.
24:34Not far away at all.
24:37It came from Jota trying to do a little over and let it run through to Kasper Hu.
24:44Good Jota, decent strike.
24:47Some more eye-catching moments from Hasim Hassan as he takes his leave.
24:53James Forrest comes on for his 580th game for Celtic.
24:5943 of them against Haas.
25:02He's only lost six times against them.
25:06I don't think that number will be changing somehow.
25:18Magnussen.
25:22Coyota.
25:29Coyota.
25:30Altanar.
25:34Mendy.
25:37Coyota blocked by Emanalo.
25:41Nice flick from Coyota for Altanar.
25:47It's over and out from Rogers Matto.
25:52Too high wasn't it the cross for Matto to get above and direct down.
25:58Altanar's making another change with the French striker Amadou Barsi.
26:02He'll make his first league appearance for a couple of months.
26:15Likely to be for Claudio Braga you would think.
26:17Bearing in mind who's already departed of the game.
26:23Last 20 minutes.
26:32It is indeed Claudio Braga.
26:35Frustrating afternoon.
26:38He is replaced by Barsi.
26:43He came from Rouen.
26:54It's the kind of game where Harts just want to hear the final whistle,
26:58but there's still a fair way to go until that point.
27:02If I pass, he's just getting a few minutes in his legs.
27:06Trying to get that rhythm again.
27:11Yeah, not ideal coming on when you're 6-1 down.
27:43Helped on by Kingsley.
27:47Donovan took charge.
27:55A bat by Kingsley.
27:56Oxlade-Chamberlain for Negrin.
28:01Matto intervenes briefly.
28:09Oxlade-Chamberlain who came on in Lisbon but hasn't actually been involved that much.
28:15New sub in 10 of the last 13 Premiership games.
28:21Altanar.
28:27Matto.
28:31Matto.
28:32Bauer couldn't clear it but now he can.
28:37Kasper Hu.
28:40James Forrest.
28:46Bauer helps it on to Emanalo.
28:50Jota.
28:55Jota.
28:57Nobody there to take advantage of Jota's lovely cross.
29:01That's sensational from Jota.
29:05Kasper Hu making a move to the near post.
29:09He normally lurks at the far post as well, doesn't he?
29:12Typical.
29:14Without theâr and accompaires.
29:16No diets of the Robere victims.
29:17Hu.
29:17Nao Anoloa.
29:26You're only a bit is buried not that present.
29:30We've fallen for him here today.
29:32Not that he's a real woman who is alive.
29:39And he's been faithful to herrada baby and he's lost.
29:44did Murray forrest hugging the touchline will be used now
29:59he's been steady hasn't he Dane Murray today great a debate amongst the Celtic
30:05supporters Dane Murray but very solid
30:22it's a flailing arm
30:25it's really accidental there's not what he can do here I used to get penalized for that
30:30a lot I remember unsurprisingly
30:46so we etch towards the final quarter of an hour at Celtic Park
30:56both teams have had 17 attempts on goal
31:01couldn't think that looking at the scoreline
31:19Chamberlain Forrest
31:37Imanalo
31:40did sign a long-term contract with Chelsea
31:46and Imanalo on his Celtic debut held up by Figg and Walcott
31:51stuck a bit didn't it really good from Jota trying to make things happen
32:07Kingsley preferred to Harry Milne today
32:13Ricochet favoured Celtic
32:16Oxlade-Chamberlain
32:18for Jota
32:24certainly pulled out to know there
32:32here he is again
32:33Jota
32:34is rubbing it in now
32:39actually nobody in the box around for Jota's cross
32:43I don't know why Kasper Hu is in the middle there enjoying Jota back
32:48he can make you look foolish can't he
32:56Celtic have really missed his swagger
33:0318 long months away
33:10it's Bauer to float this corner in
33:13Jamie McCart got there first
33:17Bauer all over the top of Coyota
33:31he was just trying to do his job
33:34he was just trying to do his job
33:44I think he would have enjoyed this afternoon
33:49Martin Anil watching his team blow hearts away
33:56they made it to 250 wins as Celtic manager last weekend
34:03251
34:06has certainly been emphatic
34:28Coyota
34:36Kingsley
34:37Kingsley
34:39I think all the changes on both teams have just disrupted
34:44the rhythm
34:46a little bit
34:47Celtic cruising
34:49no real pace in that front line now have they
34:56chops her back defending
35:01quick throw though
35:02on Alton Nahr but
35:04from the wrong place
35:11he's up the afternoon
35:26it's off to Turkey this week to face Mo Salah and Travzon Sport
35:32next league matches away to motherwell home to rangers before league cup semi-final against
35:39hips the 100th edinburgh derby of this century
35:51his team have played like turkeys today
36:01ten minutes and a bit more for hearts to be put out of their considerable misery
36:12mission is to celtic fancy more than six
36:19but who will be desperate for a chance to end his
36:22barren spell
36:33home to celtic vigo in the europa league then away to hips
36:45hearts are going to throw james wilson on for the last 10 minutes or so
36:52in amongst the goals lately
36:57five in his last ten matches
37:00five is what hearts need here maybe a surprise to tell the hearts fans that he didn't start
37:12he will replace genduz shortly
37:20actually chamberlain seeking out jotter
37:28not enough took it off in that time
37:47thomas magnuson
37:54actually chamberlain
37:57casper who
37:58could have slipped jotter in
38:00does slip
38:01negrin in as it turned out
38:05and there is number seven
38:07yes number seven
38:10and a second of the day for benjamin negrin
38:14heart's humbled humiliated they have taken an absolute beating here a total thrashing
38:23yeah hearts
38:25well they haven't played with the heads all afternoon
38:29i mean they're
38:31he tries to get back in the tone for his error
38:34casper who just spins
38:37plays in negrin
38:41from lock on quickly enough
38:43i can't
38:44woeful
38:45negrin
38:46royce at his near post
38:48can post finish
38:49has a little look
38:50not going to miss that
38:52he is a finisher
38:59he is a finisher
39:05he is a finisher
39:09he is a finisher
39:15he is a finisher
39:28They might not stop at seven.
39:35Matto.
39:44Donovan still working away.
39:52That run in the team has done in the world a good, Colby Donovan.
40:00A lot of Celtic fans are leaving early now.
40:04They think they've got the three points.
40:09Kajota.
40:15Trapped by Bauer and Jota who celebrate the moment with each other.
40:22There's a lot of thinking to do out of Rankin and Hartz.
40:28You wonder psychologically how damaging this defeat could be.
40:38Garci.
40:42Matto is off target.
40:50Go!!
40:57Hello!
41:08I'll turn up
41:13doing what he does
41:27so much to reflect on
41:29for Rönta Röntgen here
41:38Koyota's corner
41:39Magnussen trying to get there
41:41but they nearly kept him in check
41:43here's Koyota
41:47in a cart
41:50cleared by Oxlade-Chamberlain
41:54James Wilson
41:55gets the throw
42:02Negrin
42:04down at the moment
42:05and there is some sort of
42:07check going on
42:12not sure what I thought
42:15Wilson gets his body in
42:17just catches Negrin
42:19it's an accidental elbow
42:25check over
42:34Altona
42:48Kingsley
42:59and Manalo in the way
43:09Mendy
43:10too much on that
43:12for Wilson
43:12higher distance
43:17but he did score
43:18for Hearts today
43:2712 teams scoring this weekend
43:29not that that's going to come
43:30as much of a consolation to
43:31Hearts
43:37Celtic heading 4 points clear
43:39of Rangers
43:42had Hearts won today
43:44there would have been just two points
43:45between the top three
43:48but they never even came close
43:50it's that for Hilsburg
43:51no clear
43:52of the match
43:53goes to Celtics
43:54in the middle of it
43:55and you look at all
44:02Scales
44:02was the armband now
44:03Jota
44:06Oxlade-Chamberlain
44:07for Bauer
44:17Altona held up by
44:18Emanalo
44:21his dad Michael was
44:23technical director
44:25at Chelsea
44:51they haven't gone away
44:52from their principal's Hearts
44:56in the second half
44:58no change
44:59still tried to play
45:01they've still looked vulnerable
45:02left themselves open
45:04to the counter
45:07well there are only
45:09going to be two minutes
45:10added on here
45:11which could be the best thing
45:12that's happened to Hearts
45:13today
45:22Donovan's throw
45:23for Kasper Hu
45:28Emanalo
45:29just caught his man there
45:32James Wilson
45:50just a couple of minutes
45:54before Hearts
45:55total
45:56utter
45:57and complete
45:58misery
45:58comes to an end
46:03Kasper Hu
46:04hasn't
46:05had many
46:05opportunities
46:06or any
46:07I don't think
46:07to
46:09end his
46:10drought
46:11he got the assist
46:13though didn't he
46:13for the
46:14Negrim goal
46:14it's not all about scoring
46:18I think he'd have
46:19preferred a goal
46:28Kingsley
46:41Kingsley
46:43obviously Chamberlain
46:44has won it back
46:44off Barcy
46:46is there time
46:47for another
46:48Forrest
46:48pings it in
46:50clearance there
46:51from Fagin
46:52Walcott
46:52just took it
46:53away from
46:53Kasper Hu
46:54yeah
46:56Kasper Hu
46:56frustrated
46:57the ball
