Celtic warned of Hearts revenge mission as title charge might not be a one-off
Celtic scored five first-half goals as Callum Osmand netted twice and Benjamin Nygren added a brace, leaving Hearts eight points behind.
- On Sunday, Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic defeated Hearts 7-1 at Celtic Park, marking the teams' first meeting at the venue since May's dramatic title decider that left Hearts heartbroken.
- Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken saw his team struggle defensively as Celtic capitalized on early errors, contrasting sharply with last season's title race where Hearts challenged until the final day.
- Callum Osmand, Camilo Duran, and Benjamin Nygren scored as Celtic established a 5-1 halftime lead, ruthlessly punishing defensive lapses from Hearts before adding two more goals after the restart.
- Vrancken lamented individual mistakes following the defeat, describing the result as 'disappointing,' and urged his players to focus on their upcoming UEFA Conference League fixture against Trabzonspor on Thursday.
- Celtic manager Martin O'Neill downplayed the victory, telling BBC Scotland "I'm not really sure about that" when asked if it was a statement win, and now turns focus to Thursday's Europa League clash against Celta Vigo.
