Hartson a happy striker

JOHN HARTSON claimed yesterday’s hat-trick against Hearts were his most important goals yet at Parkhead.

The Celtic striker fired the champions back in front with a sweet second-half volley to claim his third of the afternoon and set up a vital 4-2 triumph.

The goal was particularly important with Rangers losing at Motherwell and the Welshman believes Celtic are now reaping the rewards for regular first-team football.
