It was an action-packed day in the capital as Celtic fought hard to overcome Hearts.

VAR controversy and seven goals set up a thrilling game for the naturals, maybe not the fans!

Sadly, the talking points coming away from the match will be about the VAR decision and Walsh’s decision, precisely what Ange was hoping to avoid.

Celtic showed determination and resilience to win the match, especially with everything that went on throughout the ninety.

As Celtic stretch their lead at the top of the table for at least a couple of hours, here are three talking points from the game.

VAR Destroys The Game

VAR was shocking today. There’s no getting around it, from wrong decisions to wasting time. It completely disrupted the flow of the match and made it a frustrating watch.

Hopefully, as time goes on, decisions will be made a lot quicker and a lot more accurately.

Greg Taylor Starts Every Week

Greg Taylor scored the winning goal for the Hoops today. After Bernabeio was having an off game, Ange turned to the Scottish left-back as he looked to change the match.

The movement from the player was sensational, finding space in the box before scoring his first league goal in the Hoops.

His standard of performance has been top-class this season and is easily in contention for Player of the Season already.

Starfelt’s Absence is Felt

Moritz Jenz struggled throughout the match at Tynecastle, with Bernanei struggling next to him.

It was surprising to see the defender finish the match, picking up a booking in the first half. He needless have away the penalty for Heart’s third goal, too.

Starfelt’s quality is missing from the Celtic side, and when he makes his return, fans will appreciate the Swedish defender fully. He’s in training but is still a few matches away from a return. Postecoglou is hopeful that Starfelt can complete his injury return before the World Cup.
