✅ Key idea:

Derek McInnes is building something important here. He knows that, but he has a lot of intelligence to show off. It’s calculated, precise, and very impressive at the moment.

Hearts are great to watch – and from McInnes you get the sense there’s a lot more to come. More new players are arriving, others are just returning to the team after injury. Not couples, but old people, or so he hopes.

There were many moments that stuck in the mind’s eye. The relentless nature of the way Hearts started the game, coming at Celtic in a way that only teams with true belief can do.

They were rewarded with a goal, with Dane Murray panicking and putting the ball into his own net rather than clearing what should have been routine.

Celtic put it to them in the next 15 minutes. They scored and should have scored again, but they didn’t. They will regret it.

You can’t fake confidence. You either have it or you don’t. The manner in which Hearts came back and won was the greatest example of their merits that we have seen yet.

And a sign of Celtic’s weakness. Showing the Kysiridis from the inside and inviting a rift is a fool’s errand, but that’s what they did and so they fell behind again.

Making capricious decisions when in the spotlight is not the way to survive a trial at Tynecastle, but that’s what Murray did when he brought down Braga to earn a penalty for Shankland.

Rodgers said in the preamble that he was including Murray alongside Colby Donovan and Johnny Kenney because sometimes young people aren’t afraid. Done here. Murray was exposed and Kenny was a bystander.
