At the end of what proved to be a humiliating afternoon for Hearts, there was no hiding place for Wouter Vrancken and his players.

Hearts captain Stephen Kingsley described his side's 7-1 thrashing by Celtic at Celtic Park as an embarrassing "calamity of errors." The heavy defeat represents Hearts' biggest ever competitive loss to Celtic, with manager Wouter Vrancken's team conceding twice from set-pieces inside the opening ten minutes, including an own goal by defender Jamie McCart alongside a strike from Celtic's Camilo Duran.
Kingsley emphasized that the squad must take full accountability rather than point fingers, especially with an upcoming UEFA Conference League match against Trabzonspor on Thursday. Calum Crowe argues the tactical naivety and capitulation dealt a severe blow to Hearts' title aspirations, leaving them eight points behind Celtic.
