Hearts Rally Twice to Stay Top in Scottish League
League-leading Hearts showed resilience that has defined their season, fighting back twice to secure a dramatic 2-2 draw with Celtic. The result keeps the underdog Edinburgh club four points clear at the top of Scotland's premiership.
Hearts refused to quit in front of their home fans, clawing back from behind twice to maintain their surprising grip on first place in Scottish football.
Nearly 19,000 supporters packed Tynecastle Stadium to watch what many called the biggest match of the season. Celtic took an early lead through Benjamin Nygren's curling free kick in the seventh minute, but Hearts defender Stuart Findlay headed in an equalizer shortly after halftime.
Celtic regained the lead when new signing Tomas Cvancara set up Hyun-Jun Yang in the 62nd minute. The match turned when Celtic's Auston Trusty received a red card following a VAR review, leaving the visitors to defend with 10 men for the final 13 minutes.
Claudio Braga became the hero with just three minutes remaining, smashing in the equalizer to send Tynecastle into celebration. The late goal preserved Hearts' remarkable position at the summit of Scottish football.
