SEASON 2024/25
SCOTTISH PRMIER LEAGUE
Venue: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 3 HEARTS 0
Scorers: Maeda(2), Jota
AMAZING MAEDA
All three goals are scored in the first half with the amazing Daizen Maeda scoring two and assisting with the other. After scoring the first when he was sent clear through the middle, he was a whisker away from his second a third when a glancing header came off the inside of the post but fell nicely into the path of Jota who made it 2-0. Then he finished off a great quick Celtic attack by tapping in at the back post.
Hearts had their chances early in the first 45 minutes but while they missed Cltic and Maeda in particular were clinical.
Finnish goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo made his league debut and will be happy with his clean sheet after making a fine, sharp save in the opening stages of the match.
The latest Hearts manager to visit Celtic Park is Englishman, Neil Critchley.
