Andy Halliday reveals the genius Celtic tweak that caught Hearts napping as Ange flipped the script to blow Jambos away

Andy Halliday reckons Hearts were caught off-guard by a clever change in Celtic's game plan ahead of the March Scottish Cup showdown at Tynecastle.

Hearts faced the champions twice in three days back in March and gave them a fright at Celtic Park, going ahead through Josh Ginnelly before Ange Postecoglou's team came back to win 3-1.

It was a far more even game than the cup tie at Tynecastle just a few days later as Aaron Mooy and Kyogo had them in charge by half-time before Cameron Carter-Vickers sealed it late on.

Former Rangers star Halliday played in both games and saw a different Celtic at Tynecastle. He reckons they learned from their fright in the first game and went more direct in Gorgie, something Hearts weren't ready for.
