Celtic kept their Treble hopes alive and kicking as they eased into the Scottish Cup semi-final draw with an impressive 3-0 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday.
In what was the second meeting between the two sides in the space of four days - the Hoops running out 3-1 winners in the Premiership at Parkhead on Wednesday - goals from Aaron Mooy, Kyogo Furuhashi and Cameron Carter-Vickers ensured Ange Postecoglou’s side strolled into the last four of the competition.
Hearts created few clear-cut opportunities but Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart produced an excellent double save in the first-half to deny Tony Sibbick’s drive before bravely blocking James Hill’s follow-up attempt from point-blank range with the scoreline at 1-0.
Despite passing up further chances to add to their tally, the result made it 13 successive wins in all competitions for the champions. Here, we take a look at the story of the quarter-final tie through the camera lense:
