Hearts fought back twice to draw 2-2 with 10-man Celtic in a dramatic Scottish Premiership clash at Tynecastle. Benjamin Nygren’s early free-kick gave the visitors the lead, but Stuart Findlay’s header levelled before Hyun-Jun Yang restored Celtic’s advantage.

The match turned when Auston Trusty was sent off after a VAR review for a challenge on Pierre Landry Kabore. Hearts made the numerical advantage count as substitute Claudio Braga smashed in an 87th-minute equaliser from a set-piece, securing a vital point for the league leaders.

Rangers’ win means Hearts stay four points clear at the top, with Celtic dropping to third. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill disputed the red card, calling it ‘no more a red than a blue card.’ The result keeps the title race tightly contested as the season progresses.
