In a stormy second half at Celtic Park, Kestutis Ivaskevicius and Andrew Driver put the Gorgie side into a two-goal lead within a two-minute period.

Former Jambos skipper Steven Pressley quickly pulled a goal back for the Hoops but a contentious penalty from Michal Pospisil soon after restored the Tynecastle side's cushion.

As the champions swarmed around Craig Gordon in the closing stages, Laryea Kingston blocked a Pressley effort on the line before the veteran Celtic defender came close with an effort from 18 yards out.

Celtic also had manager Gordon Strachan sent to the stands in the second half for an incident involving former Rangers player Neil McCann.

As the Hearts substitute waited to come on for Saulius Mikoliunas moments after Pospisil had scored the third, Strachan appeared to whisper something into McCann's ear, prompting referee Stuart Dougal to send him to the stand.

The Celtic boss emerged drenched from the dressing room celebrations to try to take the emphasis away from his sending off.

He said: "It could have been sarcasm but there were no swear words directed to the referee whatsoever and the fourth official can back that up."
