Hearts took another big step towards winning the Scottish Premiership with a 2-1 win over Rangers at Tynecastle.
The league leaders recovered from going a goal down in a challenging first half, with Stephen Kingsley and Lawrence Shankland netting vital strikes for the hosts.
Rangers had opened the scoring midway through the first half when Dujon Sterling scored via a deflection and while the visitors dominated the first half, they fell away in the second period as Hearts exerted their superiority.
With three games remaining in the Premiership, Hearts are top on 76 points, with Celtic second on 73. Rangers are third on 69 and are now all but out of the title race.
Hearts travel to Motherwell on Saturday evening, while Celtic host Rangers on Sunday at Parkhead.
