Celtic bounced back from their European humiliation against Benfica in spectacular fashion as Martin O\u2019Neill\u2019s side demolished Hearts 7-1 at Celtic Park.<\/p>\n

Callum Osmand struck twice in the first half, Benjamin Nygren grabbed a double of his own, while Kieran Tierney and Camilo Duran were outstanding as the Hoops tore the Edinburgh side apart.<\/p>\n

After the defensive horror show in Lisbon<\/a>, Celtic produced a ruthless attacking display to get back to winning ways and send a message to Hearts and Rangers that they are still the team to beat in the race for the title.<\/p>\n

Here are our Celtic player ratings from a remarkable afternoon against Hearts.<\/p>\n

Seventh heaven for Celtic in a thumping victory against Hearts \ud83d\ude0d Give us your reaction to that performance <\/p>\n

\"\"\/ Celtic player ratings as Hearts are destroyed at ParkheadViljami Sinisalo \u2013 6<\/p>\n

The Finn really didn\u2019t have much to do in the first half except pick the ball out of his own net. Sinisalo<\/a> had a quiet game as Celtic turned the screw on Hearts<\/p>\n

Kieran Tierney \u2013 8.5<\/p>\n

After being one of Celtic\u2019s best players in a dismal night in Lisbon, Tierney<\/a> terrorised Hearts with his mazy runs down the left. The full back opened the scoring with a nice header and also created Camilo Duran\u2019s and Celtic\u2019s sixth. Great performance.<\/p>\n

Liam Scales \u2013 8<\/p>\n

Back in the Celtic starting line-up after missing the Benfica defeat. Scales<\/a> was solid at the heart of the Hoops defence.<\/p>\n

Dane Murray \u2013 7<\/p>\n

Young Murray<\/a> had a torrid time in Benfica but redeemed himself against the Tynecastle side with a better display alongside Scales. He looked more confident and composed in a first-half that destroyed Hearts.<\/p>\n

Colby Donovan \u2013 7<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t have much to do defensively as Donovan<\/a> had a quiet game against Hearts. Still won over half his battles in defence. Was unlucky not to score with a thumping shot early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Callum McGregor (c) \u2013 7<\/p>\n

The Celtic captain once again, alongside Mika Baur, helped control the middle of the park as McGregor<\/a> never put a foot wrong. The Hoops legend banished the ghosts of Benfica with a solid performance against Hearts. Taken off in the 60th minute.<\/p>\n

Mika Baur \u2013 8<\/p>\n

Baur<\/a> had a yet another very good game for Celtic. As he did against Motherwell, the German controlled the middle of the park and showed how effective he is as an attacking midfielder. <\/p>\n

Benjamin Nygren \u2013 8.5<\/p>\n

The much-maligned Swede was back in the starting line-up after Nygren<\/a> was benched midweek. Once again he was back in the goals after scoring Celtic\u2019s second and, in truth, should have had more. His second came in the 83rd minute with a tidy finish in late counter attack.<\/p>\n

Haissem Hassan \u2013 7<\/p>\n

The Egyptian was named in the starting XI at the expense of Sebastian Tounekti and did offer Celtic a threat down the right. Wasn\u2019t afraid to take on a man but at times Hassan\u2019s touch was heavy which led to a break down of a few attacks. That sharpness will come with more regular game time. Subbed in the 70th minute.<\/p>\n

Camilo Duran \u2013 10<\/p>\n

Duran<\/a> was outstanding as he got involved to create two goals in quick succession for Celtic. No goal for the Colombian in the first half rout of Hearts. Got his goal early in the second half. He was outstanding today. Subbed on the 59th minute. Was the best player by a country mile.<\/p>\n

Callum Osmand \u2013 9<\/p>\n

Young Osmand<\/a> picked up where he left off last May and broke Hearts with not one, but two, first half goals. His pace and direct running caused the Edinburgh side all sorts of problems. Was subbed at half time as ONeill looked to protect the youngster\u2019s injury recovery.<\/p>\n

Jota (sub) \u2013 6.5<\/p>\n

Jota\u2019s<\/a> return from injury continued as the winger came on at half time. He immediately got involved, firstly, by getting a needless booking but secondly, to win a free kick that Nygren almost converted for Celtic\u2019s seventh. Looked very sharp for only his second game back.<\/p>\n

Kasper Hogh (sub) \u2013 6<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t get his goal but Hogh<\/a> once again was on the assists sheet as he set up Nygren for Celtic\u2019s seventh against Hearts. Slowly but surely the big Dane is showing his worth and once he gets that elusive goal, then he will be a completely different player.<\/p>\n

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (sub) \u2013 <\/p>\n

Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/a> has been surprisingly missing from Celtic\u2019s starting XI despite a decent start to the season. Replacing McGregor in the 60th minute, the former Liverpool man put in another solid cameo<\/p>\n

Landon Emenalo (sub) \u2013 5<\/p>\n

Replaced Tierney early in the second half, Emenalo didn\u2019t have much to do mainly down to Celtic being so dominant in the Hearts half.<\/p>\n

James Forrest (sub) \u2013 5<\/p>\n

The Celtic legend was brought on to replace Hassan but Forrest<\/a> didn\u2019t really have a material effect on the game.<\/p>\n
