Hoops hammer Hearts to extend gap at the top

Celtic reminded everyone why they are Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions with a comprehensive win over Hearts at Tynecastle.

The Hoops have stuttered in their journey to the top of the SPL this season but they responded to their shock home 1-0 defeat by Inverness at the weekend in fine style with goals from striker Lassad Nouioui and right-back Mikael Lustig before Charlie Mulgrew’s cut-back was deflected into his own net by Gorgie midfielder Ryan Stevenson.
