Only one Celtic player did enough to earn his spot in the BBC Sportsound team of the week.
Celtic drew 2-2 with Hearts, despite taking the lead on two occasions, as they were forced to play the final 15 minutes with 10 men after Auston Trusty’s dismissal.
Martin O’Neill knows that it was another missed opportunity in the title race but they did have to face an onslaught of pressure in the final stages of the game.
They’re not out of it, and one player was rewarded for his performance at Tynecastle.
