Video: The Embarrassing Hearts Tactic During Cup Final

It took a scrappy Hearts goal to spark Celtic into life in the second half of the Scottish Cup Final on Saturday but the bhoys got there in the end thanks to a brace from their £9million man Odsonne Edouard.

However, we were all a bit baffled by Hearts tactics and with the Pro 14s going on at Celtic Park did the Jambos think they were playing a different sport?

When the Edinburgh side kicked off in the second half they kicked the ball up the field like it was a rugby kick out. Purposely putting the ball into Celtic’s corner for a throw-in. The idea must have been relinquish possession and then press high up the field when Celtic take the throw-in.

The best part, they failed to really press the throw-in and Celtic came away with the ball. Craig Levein hasn’t tried and failed at a tactic at Hampden so hard since he introduced the no striker rule to his Scotland team.

Wow.
