. Joel Pereira - 4
Made an impressive double save to deny James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths early on but once again cost his side by parrying Odsonne Edouard's shot meekly into the path of Olivier Ntcham for the opener. | other Photo: SNS

. Sean Clare - 5
Struggled to get into the game in the first half. Will have been disappointed at letting Edouard cut inside him to get shot away in lead-up to opener. Subbed at half-time. | other Photo: SNS

. Ben Garuccio - 5
Had a tough test up against James Forrest. Skinned a couple of times but also made some crucial blocks, including a goal-line clearance. Always willing to get forward and had two decent attempts at goaL. | other Photo: SNS

. John Souttar - 5
Defended strongly in the first half but unable to halt the Celtic surge after the break. Third goal went through his legs. | other Photo: SNS

. Craig Halkett - 5
As per Souttar, could be happy with his first-half performance. Unfortunate to see fourth goal deflected in off him. | other Photo: SNS

6. Michael Smith - 6
Played in central midfield before the break and moved to right-back in second half. Subbed at 4-0 but appeared to be injured. One of Hearts' better performers. | other Photo: SNS

7. Anthony McDonald - 4
The teenager suffered the ignominy of being subbed in the 29th minute in a tactical move by Daniel Stendel after struggling to get into the game. Was visibly upset with the decision. | other Photo: SNS

8. Andy Irving - 5
The young midfielder was unable to influence the game. Helpless as Celtic seized full control after the break. | other Photo: SNS
