Celtic held but Ronny Deila proud of players

The Norwegian went into the game under pressure after the 2-1 home defeat to Motherwell last week but the visitors started a bruising match — midfielder Stuart Armstrong and Dedryck Boyata were substituted after sustaining respective back and hamstring injuries, and are doubts for Dundee tomorrow — with good tempo and took the lead in the 42nd minute through midfielder Nir Bitton.

Hearts midfielder Sam Nicholson levelled in first-half added time but Celtic came out strongly at the start of the second period and midfielder Tom Rogic restored their lead with a wonderful strike in the 70th minute.
