Scottish Premiership: Celtic break Hearts but Aberdeen keep pace at top
Bhoys and Dons remain clear after fifth wins from fiveRoss County break duck with 2-0 victory over Dundee
Deadline-day signings Arne Engels and Luke McCowan grabbed their first goals for Celtic as the champions beat Hearts 2-0 in a VAR-influenced Premiership encounter.
Engels, Celtic’s record signing, was handed his first start and netted from a 52nd-minute penalty. Referee Colin Steven gave the spot-kick for handball, having been called to the monitor by video assistant Alan Muir after Nicolas Kuhn’s cross had struck James Penrice. Steven had also pointed to the spot in the first half when Lawrence Shankland’s header struck the arm of Liam Scales from close range, but he reversed his decision after studying footage.
