Hibernian Hold Celtic 0-0 After VAR Denies Iheanacho, Hearts Go Top

Brendan Rodgers continues to search for a settled attack after another chance-heavy outing.

Overview

  • VAR ruled out Kelechi Iheanacho’s 65th-minute finish for offside after the striker had earlier struck the bar.
  • Goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger preserved Hibs’ clean sheet with several key stops, including a late save from Johnny Kenny’s header.
  • Celtic created the better chances yet failed to convert, with the hosts’ pressure repeatedly repelled in both halves.
  • Rodgers reshaped his frontline, starting Daizen Maeda on the right and making multiple attacking changes in pursuit of fluency.
  • Celtic drop to second as Hearts move top after six games, with both Celtic and Hibernian still unbeaten in the Premiership.
