Quick Review
Celtic continued their charge towards the Scottish Premier League title with a hard-fought victory over Hearts at Tynecastle. Henrik Larsson was denied a clear run on goal by a dreadful offside decision after 26 minutes, but that became an irrelevance moments later when the Swede capitalised on a slip by Andy Webster to release Petrov who drove the ball through the legs of Gordon and into the net.
Chris Sutton went down under Steven Pressley's challenge inside the box at the beginning of the second half, but the Englishman's claims for a penalty fell on deaf ears.
