GLASGOW — Celtic survived a late scare to return to the top of the Scottish Premier on Sunday with an entertaining 1-0 win over Hearts at Parkhead.
Despite it being their worst start to a season since 1998 the Hoops knew a win would move them to the summit of the SPL and they had been on top before the game was delayed for five minutes to allow treatment to Hearts keeper Jamie MacDonald who was stretchered off unconscious following a challenge with Charlie Mulgrew. After the game resumed Hearts missed a golden chance to take the lead when teenage striker Callum Paterson fired wide from close range after good work from Andy Driver.
