Celtic dealt with Hearts today in a way which should be a warning to Rangers for next weeks Old Firm. We scored four excellent goals in a match in which the biggest surprise was that Petta was really good...again!

To get us started Chris Sutton scored two first half headers from Bobby Petta crosses. The first cross from the left had a mean curl and Chris glanced it in unchallenged.

The second was from a corner from the right, with Petta once again providing the scoring opportunity. Sutton rose above the defense and glanced it in to make it 2-0.

The goal which ultimately killed off the opposition was later in the first half when the ball broke from the box and Paul Lambert hit it in hard. Larsson then wrong footed the keeper with a backheel deflection.

But the score could have been very different going into the second half if it hadn't been for two outstanding saves from Jonathan Gould. One from point blank range and the other from a fierce free kick effort from Severin.

Early in the second half Chris Sutton was awarded a penalty after Severin pulled him back in the box. However Larsson was complacent and pulled it over the bar.

Heart then pulled one back after a shot proceeding a free kick went in the net. But before long Celtic had delivered the sucker punch when Lubo Moravcik skillfully hit the ball off the bar and then in from near the goal.

Despite a late goal from substitute Juanjo Celtic were convincing winners. However the two goals gave a reminder that the defense still needs further investment if we are to avoid losing goals that could cost points.
