I think Celtic were very, very fortunate to win that game.
However, the story of Martin O'Neill at Celtic in the second phase of his interim managerial career has been of late goals, resilience, never give up.
and it has accumulated Celtic so many points but that was the most remarkable match of all because for me at 2-2 Celtic were dead and buried and the league title was over at 3-2
It is the heavyweight championship of the world in front of 60,000 people.
780 of them Hart supporters, the other 59,220 Celtic supporters.
So the atmosphere will be very much in Celtic's favour.
They have to simply go out, play as they did against Rangers last Sunday...
embrace the atmosphere and I think they'll win the title if they play as they did tonight at Fair Park and are as directionless and toothless as they were for long periods of that game Hearts will win the title but buckle up it's going to be some ride yes let's go to the phones 01419511025 we're here until 11 o'clock Ross is a Celtic fan up first Ross tell us how you're feeling after that
as I say you go back to the Rangers game only a few days ago Celtic Park the combination of players and supporters won that game and with a bit to spare I'm not saying they'll win the game against Hearts with a bit to spare but they start and you're an honest man to put it forward Ross they start with every advantage 59,000 Celtic supporters and
they have home advantage they have to make it count the problem you always have with Celtic is the squad is so limited
Tonight, Martin O'Neill tried everything.
Hatati, James Forrest, Ineaccio.
Sirachi has to come on because Kieran Tierney tires.
Tony Ralston has to come on because Alistair Johnson tires.
He's been out for such a long time.
The squad is so limited, particularly up front.
Absolutely stretched to the limit.
And that is the only problem I would think Celtic have, because at the other end, you've got goal scorers aplenty for Hearts.
what about the calmness of Iheanacho what about how calm that's probably worth millions that penalty an extra stage in the Champions League forward guaranteed he looked as if he was taking a penalty that was going to make a game 3-0 in the 63rd minute of the game against a lower league team if you think about it Kelechi Iheanacho is Brendan Rodgers gift to Celtic because he's the man who brought him in because of another shocking transfer window
And trying to retrieve the situation and help himself, Brendan Rodgers got Ian Acho, someone he'd worked with at Leicester City.
