Ad Edimburgo sul terreno degli Hearts ( sostenitori in foto ) i Celtic hanno rimediato una brutta sconfitta dopo essere passati in vantaggio grazie al solito Samaras; i padroni di casa, infatti, hanno prima riacciuffato il pareggio dal dischetto e poi trovato la rete vincente grazie a Bouzid. Questo risultato non solo allontana i biancoverdi dai Rangers che ora hanno quattro punti di vantaggio ma mette in discussione anche il secondo posto insidiato dall’altra squadra di Edimburgo,gli Hibs. Proprio i tifosi di quest’ultima formazione sono stati seguiti nella trasferta vittoriosa di Aberdeen da speciali misure di sicurezza essendo stato quello di ieri il primo confronto dopo il ferimento di un tifoso biancorosso in circostanze non ancora chiarite lo scorso ottobre. In Inghilterra i Wolves si sono aggiudicati lo scontro diretto contro il Burnley ( 2-0 ) mentre il Birmingham ha ottenuto un pareggio sul campo dell’Everton che ha confermato il buon momento degli ospiti.Il match principale era, tuttavia, rappresentato dal derby londinese tra West Ham e Chelsea che si è concluso in parità, risultato che può accontentare sia gli “Hammers” che muovono la traballante classifica sia il Chelsea che allunga sul Man U sconfitto sul terreno del Fulham.In “Championship” il Newcastle si è aggiudicato la sentita sfida contro il Boro.

Bouzid (centre) scored Hearts’ winner on his return to the side

Battling Hearts came from behind to beat unlucky Celtic and leave the Glasgow side trailing Scottish Premier League leaders Rangers by four points.

Celtic had taken the lead when Georgios Samaras poked the ball home after 21 minutes, but Michael Stewart levelled from the penalty spot 12 minutes later.Gary Caldwell was sent off for pulling down Jamie Mole at the spot kick.Celtic’s 10 men were the better side after the break, but Ismael Bouzid headed the winner after 76 minutes.It ended Celtic’s five-game unbeaten run, which had led manager Tony Mowbray to return to his first-choice line-up, despite his second string having produced a stirring three-goal comeback to draw away to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday.

Caldwell was sent off after conceding a first-half penalty

Scott McDonald peeled away from sleepy marker Stewart to head a Barry Robson corner off the far post and Samaras was first to react and fired low into the net from eight yards.Celtic began to dominate, but a mistake from Glenn Loovens handed Hearts the chance to level.The Dutch international defender failed with an attempt to chest clear and, as the ball fell for Mole, Caldwell came in from behind to clip the striker’s heel.It was the slightest of touches. But, with the defender being the last man and, having given the penalty, referee Willie Collum had no choice but to give the Scotland defender his marching orders.Stewart made amends for his role in Celtic’s goal by sending Boruc the wrong way from the penalty spot.Mowbray responded immediately, replacing midfielder Marc Crosas with defender Stephen McManus and the 10 men held out despite increasing pressure ahead of the half-time break.Celtic came out with greater resolve and Aiden McGeady fired a drive against the post and Samaras curled an effort just wide.The visitors ought to have taken the lead following a rare mistake from Jose Goncalves, with McDonald stealing the ball from the defender on the by-line and cutting it back to Samaras 16 yards out with the goal minus a goalkeeper.However, the Greek rushed his chip over a couple of defenders and it lifted clear of the crossbar.

Hearts were struggling to make their extra man tell, but a superb run and curling cross from Templeton set up the Edinburgh side’s second goal.The teenager ran past Marc-Antoine Fortune, who had replaced McDonald, before finding Bouzid ghosting in at the back post to power his header home from 10 yards.Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo immediately replaced the scorer with Marius Zaliukas while Celtic went three at the back, with Niall McGinn replacing Andreas Hinkel.Ten-man Celtic piled on the pressure, with Kello making a fine one-handed save to parry a Samaras drive, a looping Loovens header being cleared off the line by Craig Thomson and Fortune chesting the ball down against the post then having another effort blocked by the goalkeeper.However, Hearts held on to record their first win in three games and move up to seventh spot in the table.

Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo:
“Today, there was a fantastic Celtic squad here and they played very good football, but we had also our tactical shape and this was today very important.

Celtic manager Tony Mowbray:
“I don’t think the game changed at the penalty as I thought we were comfortable throughout and the team functioned okay today 10 against 11.
