Celtic delivered a perfect performance against Hearts, and they have their opponents to thank for making them stronger than ever. After a rocky few weeks…

Celtic delivered a dominant performance against Hearts, featuring braces from Callum Osmand and Benjamin Nygren, alongside goals from Kieran Tierney, Camilo Duran, and an own goal. Writer Callum Boyle argues that Celtic's set-piece dominance highlights how hiring coach Ross Grant from Hearts directly weakened their title rivals while boosting their own squad.
Grant joined Celtic as their set-piece coach after leaving Hearts in the summer. Under manager Martin O'Neill, Celtic have scored six set-piece goals in the Scottish Premiership, making them the joint-most efficient top-flight side from dead-ball situations.
