Celtic

Daizen Maeda and Sead Haksabanovic were also on target in a 3-1 victory that kept Celtic nine points ahead of Rangers, who beat Hibernian 4-1.

Steven Bradley had given Livi an early lead by rifling high into the net after good work from Joel Nouble. Celtic were not at their fluent best in the first half but dominated the second. Hearts had taken an early lead through Josh Ginnelly before Daizen Maeda levelled.

Kyogo Furuhashi took his cinch Premiership goal tally to 20 for the season as Celtic came from behind to beat Hearts 3-1.

Aaron Mooy and Cameron Carter-Vickers were off target with efforts after the break before Jota began the move that led to Celtic's second goal by dispossessing Cammy Devlin just inside the Hearts half. The forward delivered a low cross to his fellow Japan international Maeda to slide in and finish from six yards. Celtic were not at their fluent best in the first half but dominated the second.

Tonight was Ange Postecoglou's 100th game in charge of Celtic and, typically, the occasion was marked with a win.

And on tonight’s team rotation, the Bhoys boss added: “This week was always going to be a bit tight for us with three games between the six days, we knew we would have to rotate the squad a little bit. It was a great bit of defensive work by him and then great composure to play the right pass.” We had to work ourselves into the game, we didn’t hit a good rhythm from the start. I thought we looked a little bit disjointed at the start, so we had to earn it. Postecoglou sits second in the list of Celtic managers when it comes to all-time win percentage, just behind Martin O’Neill. We had to work hard for them tonight.

Goals from Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and substitute Sead Haksabanovic overcame the loss of an early goal from Tynecastle attacker Josh Ginnelly. Nine points ...

Cutting in from the left the Montenegran winger made space to curl a brilliant strike into the postage stamp corner. Ahead of another meeting of these teams in the Scottish Cup on Saturday, Robbie Neilson will be forced to run through a casualty list. After a wait of a minute or so VAR official Walsh confirmed the goal was legitimate thanks to the length of Carl Starfelt’s big toe. The first half replacement for the injured goalscorer Ginnelly, Hearts’ Japanese attacker Yutaro Uda crumpled to the deck and had to leave the field. The top scorer lashed the ball past Zander Clark to roars of relief from the home support. The check came shortly after Celtic forced their way back into the game with a terrific goal. A fine probing cross was bulleted into the net by the head of the pacey Ginnelly. Once again the decision of an assistant was misjudged. Walsh took a second look and decided the flag was a mistake. The most influential figure in this game – outwith man of the match Furuhashi - was nowhere near a freezing Celtic Park. A combination of injury and a sickness bug forced the issue, captain Lawrence Shankland, midfielder Robert Snodgrass and full-back Alex Cochrane missing out. Nine points clear with a superior goal difference, seven wins from the last ten games will now retain the title.

ANGE Postecoglou's landmark 100th game in charge in charge of Celtic tonight unfolded the same way as so many of the previous 99 had.

Robbie Neilson stuck with his 3-5-2 formation and his charges deservedly took the lead when Ginnelly got on the end of an Andy Halliday cross and nodded in from a few yards out. The Japanese internationalist is hard-working, physical and, while not being as clinical a finisher as his compatriot Furuhashi, scores important goals. If Shankland returns on Saturday it will give them a much-needed cutting edge in the final third. But tonight VAR showed the opening two goals, which were originally flagged offside by assistant referees Craig Ferguson and Calum Spence, were both onside. But if Furuhashi can avoid injury in the coming weeks he will surely match and surpass the mark set by his predecessor. Jota made an impact after coming on. The visitors, however, had other ideas. The performance and result underlined the strength and depth the Scottish champions have and why recording a fifth treble in seven years is very much a possibility. [stage](/life_style/arts_ents/stage/) did Hearts look capable of snatching their first win in the East End of Glasgow since 2009. He was a deserved recipient of the Man of the Match award. Provider turned scorer in the second-half, and took his tally for the 2022/23 campaign to 25 in the process, when he rounded off a slick attacking move involving Jota and Aaron Mooy. Substitute Sead Haksabonovic sealed the win when he cut in from the left and fired into the top right corner in the closing stages.

Ange Postecoglou has celebrated his 100th game in charge of Celtic with a 3-1 comeback win against Hearts, while neighbours Rangers won 4-1 at Hibernian.

"It wasn't to be. "We didn't really get into a rhythm we like to get into, and forced things early in the game. Hearts took an early lead at Parkhead when Andrew Halliday's cross was headed in by Josh Ginnelly, the goal finally given after an initial offside and a lengthy VAR check.

He slid one past the post after the restart when he ought to have scored. Sadly, that was the end of his contest as he hurt himself in an accidental clash with Zander Clark and was replaced by Jota after enjoying a good and productive half an hour. It was the Australian who threaded a sublime pass into Kyogo's path and he lashed it high into the net to make it 2-1 to the hosts. He duly lashed the ball home his 25th goal of the season on the hour mark to put Celtic ahead. Daizen Maeda: The Japanese winger spurned the first real opportunity of the contest when he flashed a drive wide of the target. He made a brilliant run to stab home his 10th goal of the season on 26 minutes to restore parity. He was a peripheral figure in this one and he should have put one on a plate for Kyogo. The boss man gave the midfielder a starting berth after he came off the bench to score in Paisley at the weekend. He was always looking and happy to take the ball under pressure. He almost capped a superb comeback with a spectacular overhead kick that sailed inches over the top and split the Hearts defence asunder with a fantastic pass to Abada that should have led to a third goal. He showed great alertness to sprint from his line and hack the ball away from the on-rushing Ginnelly. [Greg Taylor.](https://www.celticway.co.uk/features/23373218.reason-greg-taylors-celtic-v-hearts-absence-explained/) He was the victim of a crude lunge by Cammy Devlin which should have been punished.

THIS will likely make little difference to the correspondence I will receive on the back of this article, but it's worth pointing a few things out…

His work will not have gone unnoticed in larger leagues, and while I do believe it would take one of the mammoths – even in England, for example – to tempt him away, it is a matter of time before he faces that dilemma. How long that innings lasts, can only depend on when a top-level club twigs on to the brilliant work he is doing. I certainly wouldn’t level that accusation at him, and I don’t expect him to leave Celtic in the short term. Even when his players fail to reach the heights they are capable of, he has instilled a mental steeliness within them and an unshakeable faith in his brand of football that ensures they almost invariably get the job done in any case. After regaining the Premiership crown and winning the League Cup in his debut season, he is now heavily favoured to tuck a Treble into the Celtic Park trophy cabinet come June. Postecoglou ‘got’ Celtic from day one and made the happiness of their supporters his top priority.

Furuhashi — the league's leading scorer — hit the winner on the hour mark after good passes from Jota and Aaron Mooy.

"For my goal, Aaron gave me a wonderful ball and all I had to do was to finish it." Sead Haksabanovic curled in their third six minutes from time as they moved nine points clear of arch-rivals Rangers at the top of the league table. Hearts got the lead through Josh Ginnelly's sixth-minute header but Celtic equalized in the 25th minute when Maeda slid home Furuhashi's first-time cross from the right at Celtic Park.
