Celtic
Heart Of Midlothian


The first half had a nervous quality to it, despite having all the goals in the encounter going into the last 5'. Celtic were the only ones to shake it off in the second half, though, with subs changing the course of this one: Hearts suffered two crucial injuries in quick succession to unnerve their defensive stability, whereas Celtic turned up the heat with a dead-on double substitution (Saracchi and Osmand on for Trusty and Tierney). I'm not too sure where the confusion surrounding Maeda's winner came from, especially in commentary, as Osmand was absolutely miles onside and Maeda came back quite clearly onside just in time for the tap-in in the second phase. Hard to pick a MOTM, as both teams played their hearts out for the full 90, but I'll give it to Osmand for his tangible contribution off the bench in both Celtic winners. A quick shout-out to the crowd that created an immense atmosphere to the point where it felt almost like a CL match.
