Celtic struggled to find positions in the penalty area against Hearts, who controlled the game as they wanted in the first half-hour of the highly anticipated match, and Sebastian Tounekti tried to find the goal from distance in the 32nd minute, but the ball stayed in Alexander Schwolow.

Hearts won a succession of corners in the final period and took the lead in the 43rd minute to take a big advantage on the way to the championship. In the 43rd minute, from a throw in from the right, Lawrence Shankland sent the ball to the back post and Lawrence Shankland sent the ball into the net with a header: 0-1.

In the 87th minute, in a Celtic attack from the left side, Daizen Maeda was the last to touch the ball in the penalty area to give his team a 2-1 lead.
