SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP Quarter Final
Venue: TYNECASTLE STADIUM
HEARTS 1 CELTIC 2
Scorers: Sutchuin-Djoum; Griffiths, Rogic
A trip through to the capital to play Hearts is always eventful and this one had the added spice of being cup quarter final. The first half past with few chances for either side. In the second half the atmosphere intensified with the game on a knife edge.
Hearts had the ball in the net but it was ruled off side, then Leigh Griffiths scored the vital opening goal. A wonderful effort beating three Hearts defenders then finishing with a smart left foot shot.
The impressive Rogic flicked in the second to confirm Celtic's semi final place after more great play from Griffiths.
It was strange only having a small corner of Tynecastle as I attended matches there in the eighties were we regularly took 10,000 fans to the old ground.

Personal note: My 6th League Cup tie between the sides. My 32 match in Tynecastle making it my tenth most visited ground.
