Review
Struggling Hearts raised their game at Parkhead inspired by old hand Alex MacDonald and Alfie Conn.
MacDonald was barracked by the Celtic support but was just about the best man on the park with a typical whole hearted display.
It was Tommy Burns who was best with a sublime performance and was rapidly becoming the most influential midfielder in the country.
