Half-time: Celtic 2-0 Hearts

In the 50th minute, Eilidh Shore did just that for Hearts as she headed past Adelaide Gay in goal for Celtic and into the back of the net for 2-1.
The momentum would be short-lived for the Jam Tarts as Tara O’Hanlon was played through on goal and slotted home into the bottom left corner for 3-1.
Just after the hour mark, Cross was slipped in behind the Hearts backline and had her initial effort saved by Johnstone, but followed in to smash it home for 4-1.
On 66 minutes, substitute Jackie Richards whipped in a good cross from the left, and Walsh turned it into her own net for 4-2.
In the 72nd minute, Noonan made it a hat-trick as she found the far corner with her header.
In the dying embers, Bayley Hutchison struck into the bottom left corner to make it 5-3.
But it was too late in the day for Hearts to mount any potential comeback, as Celtic went on to secure the three points in Hamilton.
