Late catalyst carries Celtic past Hearts | OneFootball

Callum Osmand set up the breakthrough in the 87th minute and added a stoppage time clincher as Celtic beat Hearts 3-1. The substitute forward swung a tight game decisively Celtic's way.

The Bhoys finally pierced a packed defence when Osmand burst down the left and squared for Daizen Maeda to tuck in (87.). The goal was awarded after a VAR review.

He then sealed it on the counter, arriving to finish Callum McGregor's pass in the eighth minute of second half stoppage time.

In just 17 minutes he delivered a goal and an assist, produced two key passes and logged five touches in the box, a burst that stretched the Jambos when it mattered most.

His direct runs between the lines gave the Hoops an extra threat beyond the last line, forcing Hearts' back four to drop and creating the space for both the cut-back and the late break.

Next up, the Hoops face Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final.
