Hearts 1 - Celtic 1

In a team showing only the two enforced changes with Pressley and O'Dea inplace of injured pair Kennedy and Naylor, Celtic produced the type of performance intimating that more changes may have served them better at Tynecastle.

In actual fact both the experienced former Hearts captain, and young Irishman O'Dea were two of Celtic better performers, with Pressley again using the ball well, and O'Dea looking pretty assured to his left even getting forward to support the midfield. The game was a pretty stale affair, neither teams having many chances.

Hartley's whipped freekick as the game looked destined for a goalless draw, squirmed away from the Hearts keeper leaving Scott McDonald able to pounce to make it 1-0.

Surely then the game would settle Celtic's way, however a last minute abboration by Gary Caldwell, deciding to clearly push Tall in Celtic's own area, gave Velicka another chance to score against Celtic.
