Celtic made it 2-0 against Hearts after Daizen Maeda finished off a tidy attack by knocking in from close range. With 23 minutes on the clock, Brendan Rodgers’ team are in total control with goals from Matt O’Riley and now Maeda.
Reo Hatate did very well to hit the line and flash the ball back into the path of his compatriot, who made no mistake with the finish. There was a brief VAR check for offside but the goal was clearly onside after lines were drawn.

Celtic will look to further extend their lead whilst defending to ensure that the hosts are not given any hope of their own.
