CELTIC moved to within two points of leaders Rangers in the Scottish League last night following a dramatic 83rd minute winner by substitute Andy Walker against Hearts at Tynecastle.
John Robertson put Hearts ahead at the interval but a great comeback, which yielded two goals in the last 15 minutes, extended Celtic's unbeaten Premier Division run to 18 games. Pierre Van Hooydonk's 17th goal of the season levelled the match with 14 minutes left.
It gave Celtic three points for the second time in four days after trailing at half time.
Walker had missed one superb chance before he swept in the winner. The former Bolton striker is a survivor of Celtic's last championship winning side in 1988.
It was indicative of a match played out in front of a passionate 15,871 crowd in total commitment that both managers, Celtic's Tommy Burns and Hearts' Jim Jefferies, were spoken to by police to keep their emotions under rein.
