Quick Review

Paul Hartley sent a 20-yard snapshot over the bar within a minute of the kick-off to signal Hearts' intent.
Zurawski breached the packed Hearts defence, but his shot was parried into the air by Gordon before Hartley mopped up after Miller attempted to capitalise on the rebound.
Mikoliunas drew a good save from goalkeeper Artur Boruc with his right-footed drive from 12 yards.
Mikoliunas lashed an angled shot wide and Velicka drove wildly over the bar as Hearts continued to threaten after the break.
Velicka finally made the breakthrough after Neil Lennon was caught out in the middle of the park. Bruno Aguiar sent the Lithuanian through the middle and the striker went past Steve McManus with ease before driving low past Boruc from the edge of the penalty area.
But Celtic were back on level terms when Jarosik found space inside a packed Hearts area to head a Nakamura corner past Gordon from eight yards out.
Gordon made a fine save from a Nakamura free-kick, but the Scotland goalkeeper's rare error handed Celtic victory deep into four minutes of added time. He pushed the ball into his own net when it looked like he had possession of McManus' shot.

Trivia

Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon scored an own goal in the dying seconds as Celtic staged a dramatic comeback to move 13 points clear in the SPL.
