The crowd erupted after Kyziridis (second right) scores to make it 2-1 against Celtic. Hoops' Reaction Celtic had actually recovered well from an early setback.

Solid Backline The Hearts goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow, who had saved superbly from Nygren in the first half, kept out an Arne Engels shot which deflected off Magnússon. Halkett thwarted a Shin Yamada attempt in the dying moments. Hearts were otherwise untroubled as the minutes passed. “We shall not be moved” has become the Tynecastle verse of choice at the stadium. One cannot overlook the buzz. Detailed coverage will be available.
