'Hearts are falling apart again': Watch the celebrations inside Tynecastle after Celtic win
and live on Freeview channel 276
The celebrations at Tynecastle Park following Hearts' 2-0 victory over 10-man Celtic on Sunday indicated the significance of the result. The Edinburgh club won 2-0 at Parkhead in December and have now beaten their Glasgow counterparts twice in the same season for the first time in 12 years.
Jorge Grant's first-half penalty and Lawrence Shankland's instinctive second-half finish earned three points for the home side, who moved 13 points clear in third place in the Premiership. The result also stopped Celtic overtaking Rangers at the top of the table.

Rival fans have used that tune with adapted words to sing 'Hearts are falling apart again' whenever the Gorgie side suffered a bad result. The Jambos didn't miss an opportunity for some satire.
