    Perry Kitchen goes 90 as a central mid in a 3-5-2 away at Parkhead. Hearts controlled the play in the midfield for large parts of the match, but couldn't convert their chances up front and gave up a few silly opportunities at the back, which Celtic took advantage of. Final score: Celtic 3-1 Hearts.

    Kitchen apparently bossed the midfield and did a good job shutting down Celtic's Scott Brown. Most of the Hearts fans on their boards seem to think he was MOTM or at least one of the top few Hearts players on the field. Biggest criticism was that he played mostly safe, sideways passes, although I haven't seen any match stats to back that up (Hearts had 57% of the possession overall). He also picked up a late yellow card for "standing on the field" (according to Hearts supporters.) ;)

    Hearts remain in third place in the SPL, 9 points behind Aberdeen and 13 above St. Johnstone.
