Maybe Sean Clare has a future as a full-back after all... James Forrest hares in from the right and pulls the trigger on a shot just as the Hearts substitute slides in to make a perfectly timed challenge.

Callum McGregor bundles the ball home from close range after Aaron Hickey does brilliantly to block Odsonne Edouard's shot inside the six yard box but the Celtic celebrations are cut short by an offside decision. The correct call, TV replays confirm.
Hearts race up the park immediately but Steven MacLean takes a bad touch when clean through and a very promising situation fizzles out.

Stand-in full-back Sean Clare shows good skill and determination to cut in from the right but his final shot is wayward.

Steven MacLean, already on a booking, leaves a foot in as Christopher Jullien clears and catches the giant Frenchman on the toe.
The Hearts striker, who is quickly surrounded by aggrieved Celtic players, needs to keep a clear head and not get caught up in any nonsense.
