# Celtic: Fans disappointed with missed opportunities in 2-0 win at Hearts

**Celtic moved [five points clear](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50738355) at the top of the Premiership on Wednesday night, although some Hoops fans on Twitter were still critical of one aspect of the team’s performance.**

[First-half goals from Ryan Christie and Olivier Ntcham](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50738355) were enough to secure a 2-0 win away to Hearts, their [ninth successive victory in the league](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/spielplan/verein/371).

However, Neil Lennon’s team could easily have returned to Glasgow with an even more comprehensive margin of victory, having spurned several opportunities to add to their lead before and after half-time.

The Hoops did find the net in the second half but Callum McGregor’s goal was disallowed for offside, with the 26-year-old seeing a later opportunity thwarted by Hearts goalkeeper Joel Pereira. \[[via BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50738355)\]

Odsonne Edouard also passed up a chance to add to his 14-goal tally this season, unable to convert a second half header, while James Forrest was culpable of a poor miss in the first half with the score at 1-0. \[[via BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50738355)\]

These Celtic fans on Twitter were disappointed at the number of chances that their team failed to convert in the win at Tynecastle:

> Unmarked, their defence all over the place, Eddy should be burying that header.
>
> We’ve scuppered a lot of decent chances, a better opposition would captitalise on that.
>
> Step it up Celts, put it to bed 🍀

> Yes good 3 points And some good play on a shambolic surface.

> Missed chance reinforces negative been saying for months
