The 19-year-old on-loan midfielder displayed his excellent technique with clinical finishes in each half, although the visitors will have felt aggrieved not to have reached the break on level terms. Round-up: United win again Hope springs eternal for Dundee United after another win Hearts also ended the game with 10 men after Juwon Oshaniwa was dismissed in second half injury time, and it was the visitors who took the lead with the most simple of goals as early as the fifth minute. As the ball fell kindly to Jamie Walker on the edge of the penalty area, the forward steadied himself before calmly finding the top left-hand corner of the net with very little back-lift. The goal was the first by Hearts at Celtic Park for 296 minutes.Celtics first real effort came on 14 when Neil Alexander dived high to his right to push away a Leigh Griffiths free-kick.And from the resulting corner the hosts were level. With the visiting defence failing to clear the danger, the ball found its way to Gary Mackay-Steven who clinically dispatched it into the bottom right-hand corner of the net from 20 yards.As the game continued to sway from one end of the park to the other, Oshaniwa and Arnaud Djoum both had chances for Hearts while Griffiths was once again denied by Alexander.

Tempers fray at Celtic Park, although the match was generally played in a good spirit There was just enough time for Gordon to pull off an excellent 89th minute save from Abiola Daudas eight-yard header following Liam Smiths cross.But by then the points were well and truly in the pocket of Ronny Deilas team who are now seven points clear with as many games left to play.And with 92 minutes on the clock, Hearts were reduced to 10 men when Oshaniwa was a little unfortunate to collect his second yellow card of the day.
