Hearts 1-4 Celtic: Analysis

Although the sides went in level at half-time, it felt almost inevitable that Celtic would turn it on after the break, such are the standards manager Brendan Rodgers has set.

Kyogo was limited to just six touches in the opening period, but his first meaningful contribution of the match was to do what he does best, slotting home the opening goal after a sharp stop from Craig Gordon.

Nicolas Kuhn continued his wonderful season with a searing left-footed finish into the top corner on an evening where he oozed confidence and class.

Rodgers rung the changes from there and his squad's strength in depth was highlighted by the way they kicked on, not least with Adam Idah's cameo.

The Irish striker has a knack for scoring goals and offers a totally different threat to Kyogo - having someone of his quality to call upon off the bench is a real luxury for Rodgers.

Celtic now take real momentum into Wednesday's Champions League match against Club Brugge, as they look to continue their positive European campaign.
