IN THIS SEASON’S CELTIC VIEW WE ARE TAKING A TRIP EACH WEEK TO GROUNDS WHERE THE HOOPS HAVE PLAYED ON THEIR TRAVELS.
FIRST VISIT
The very first league game ever played at Tynecastle was when Celtic visited in the inaugural Scottish league season of 1890/91. The previous week Hearts had lost 5-2 at Ibrox while Celtic lost to Renton but, as the Dunbartonshire team were later expelled from the league, the game became null and void. So by dint of circumstance, the first league game ever at Tynecastle also became Celtic’s first ever league game. Two goals by Johnny Madden, another brace by Willie Groves plus a goal by Peter Dowds gave Celtic a 5-0 win. It didn’t end there, though, as goalkeeper, Jamie Bell’s registration wasn’t through in time and Celtic had four points deducted from their final tally
MOST RECENT VISIT
Just a week after clinching seven-in-a-row last season with a 5-0 win over Rangers, the Hoops travelled to Tynecastle on May 6, 2018 and things didn’t get off to the best of starts when Hearts took the lead after 17 minutes. However, the Celts proved there was no post-title negligence as they equalised within three minutes through Dedryck Boyata, and just six minutes after the break, Moussa Dembele controlled a marvellous Tom Rogic pass with one foot before firing home with the other. In time added on, Celtic asserted their authority in fine style when Scott Sinclair touched the ball home for the last goal in a 3-1 win.
