CELTIC made it five Premiership wins from five with a 2-0 victory over Hearts at the weekend.
New boys Arne Engels and Luke McCowan were the goalscorers for Celts, with Belgian Engels stroking home his first for the club from the penalty spot.

Footage emerged after the game of the moment the 21-year-old converted his spot-kick, showing Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland and other Jambos trying to distract the midfielder by shouting taunts at him.
And Celtic hero Chris Sutton has had his say on Shankland’s antics in the ‘moment of the week’ section of his It’s All Kicking Off podcast.

He said: “I love pettiness within football.
“Celtic won at the weekend and their first goalscorer was Arne Engels from the penalty spot.
“Engles is the big new signing for Celtic, and as he’s getting ready to take the penalty, Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland is screaming at him ‘£10million, £10million, big pressure, aye right’.
“Engels just strolls up and sends Craig Gordon the wrong way.
“Fair play to him, I wonder whether he understood Scottish first and foremost.
“I sort of like what Lawrence Shankland was doing anyway, but it didn’t phase Engels at all.”
Meanwhile, Sky Sports presenters have fumed over the penalty decisions given in Celtic’s win over Hearts.
The penalty which Engels converted was awarded after referee Colin Steven checked the VAR monitor to see Nicolas Kuhn’s cross strike James Penrice’s arm.
This was after Hearts thought they had a spot-kick of their own at the other end for a Liam Scales handball, only for Steven to reverse his decision after another on-field review at the monitor.
Sky presenter Rob Wotton didn’t see the difference between the Hearts penalty which wasn’t given and the Celtic one which was on the RefWatch programme.
He said: “All we ask for – be consistently wrong or be consistently right. Just be consistent.”
