Celtic thrash Hearts 7-1 in Glasgow

Celtic beat Hearts 7-1 at their Glasgow home ground, Parkhead, on Sunday.

The result came in a match between two teams seen as Scottish title contenders.

Their previous meeting, on the final day of last season, ended with Celtic winning the title through a stoppage-time goal by Callum Osmand.

That finish was followed by a pitch invasion and later prosecutions involving Celtic fans, leaving tensions around the fixture.

Hearts had won five of their previous seven matches under coach Vrancken, while Celtic had won 14 of their past 15 league games.

The 7-1 win gives Celtic a major result in the title race, though the available information does not say what happens next in the league.
