On This Day in 2020, Celtic sealed the Quadruple Treble by beating Heart of Midlothian on penalties at Hampden. Neil Lennon’s side had picked up the 2019 League Cup along with the League title, defying Rangers to win both but it was a Championship side that stood in their way.
Celtic were cruising with a 2-0 half time lead with Craig Gordon keeping the score down. However, Hearts came out the traps and draw back level taking the game to extra time. Leigh Griffiths gave the Celts a 3-2 lead but Hearts again responded taking the game to penalties. It was a topsy turvy clash and one that had fans, who were locked out due to COVID-19, on the edge of their seats.
Conor Hazard saved two penalties after Ryan Christie had his penalty saved by Craig Gordon. The Irishman, in only his third appearance, then gave Kris Ajer the chance to win the cup for Celtic. He blasted the ball beyond Gordon and sealed the win for Celtic.
