Hearts returned to Parkhead for the first time since their trophy heartbreak in May, hoping to exact some revenge, only for Celtic to pile on the misery.

Scottish Premiership: Osmand and Nygren at the double as Celtic thrash Hearts 7-1

Callum Osmand was on target again as Celtic inflicted more misery on Hearts with a 7-1 thrashing at Parkhead.

Osmand netted twice in three first-half minutes in the first meeting of the teams since his goal sealed Celtic’s last-gasp title success at the expense of the Edinburgh side.

The Hoops were two up inside 10 minutes after Kieran Tierney and Benjamin Nygren both scored from Mika Baur corners, and the latter had the Premiership champions 5-1 up at the interval after forcing an own goal from Jamie McCart.

Camilo Durán piled on the agony with a goal four minutes after the restart and Nygren rounded off the scoring to send Martin O’Neill’s side four points clear of Rangers.
