Celtic fans had little to cheer after ending their silent protest as a goalless home draw with Hibernian allowed Hearts to move to the top of the Premiership with a 3-0 win against Falkirk at Tynecastle.
The Celtic Fans Collective had organised “12 minutes of silence from your 12th man” at the start of the game to continue the protest against the Hoops’ board and its transfer dealings. While the atmosphere improved, Celtic drew a blank as Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi hit the bar and Hibs held on, which had the knock-on effect of doing a favour for their Edinburgh rivals.
Rampant Hearts moved two points clear of Celtic at the top after Alexandros Kyziridis’s wonder strike set them on the way to a 3-0 victory at Tynecastle. The Greek winger, one of several new signings unearthed for the Edinburgh club by the data firm Jamestown Analytics over the summer, broke the deadlock with an audacious effort midway through the first half. Lawrence Shankland, the captain, then fired home his third goal in two games before defender Craig Halkett headed the third early in the second half.
Kilmarnock secured their first league win of the season by beating Dundee United 2-0 at Tannadice. Goals from Bruce Anderson and Robbie Deas sealed a win at the sixth attempt for Killie – following four draws and a defeat – with Max Stryjek denying Zac Sapsford’s spot-kick for the hosts late on.
