Celtic Player Ratings: Hearts (H)

Celtic went 10 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership with an emphatic 5-0 win over Hearts at Celtic Park.

Olivier Ntcham, Christopher Jullien, Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie and Jozo Simunovic were the scorers for the Hoops, who played like champions, especially in the second half.

After a dominant start to the game without much cutting edge, Neil Lennon’s side opened the scoring at the half-hour mark when Ntcham drove his effort into the back of the net.

At the start of the second half, Jullien rose at the back post to head Leigh Griffiths’ corner into the net.

McGregor made it three in the 52nd minute after exchanging passes with Greg Taylor before placing his effort past the Hearts goalkeeper.

There was no respite for Hearts as the home side made it four in the 67th minute through Christie’s effort, Taylor with another assist.

Thereafter, with 10 minutes remaining and the opposition on the mat, Simunovic got his header in from Christie’s corner to make it five for the reigning Scottish champions.

All in all, a satisfying night for Celtic, who also saw rivals Rangers lose to Kilmarnock.
