Celtic ran out deserved 4-1 winners as Hearts were put to the sword on Sunday afternoon. There were four different scorers for the Hoops in the win that restored their seven-point lead at the top of the table.
At half-time, the Celts were 2-0 up thanks to strikes from Matt O’Riley and Daizen Maeda. Kyogo and Tomoki Iwata made it four in the second 45, and late on, a notable chant made a return to the Celtic songbook.

Although there were just a few hundred away supporters at Tynecastle, the ‘Brendan Rodgers’ chant to the tune of ‘Here I Am Lord’ could be clearly heard from the terraces:

In the Irishman’s second spell in charge of the club, this is the first time the song has been sung. It is refreshing to hear it, and it displays that the double-treble-winning boss has won back the full support.
