Hearts roll out red carpet ... and Celtic walk all over it
Story updated
The story in brief
32-second readJimmy Thunder was having none of Crawford Grimsley's chutzpah, none of his mouthing-off before their heavyweight contest back in the late 1990s, none of his pre-bout arrogance.
Thunder took precisely 1.5 seconds to put Grimsley down - one punch, an overhand right to his opponent's temple. As Celtic unloaded on Hearts at Celtic Park it was football's equivalent of Thunder's devastation; speed and accuracy and ruthlessness in the face of a challenger akin to a rabbit caught in the headlights.
Hearts didn't give it the big one in the preamble to this evisceration, but they set up in the manner of a team who truly believed they were a whole lot better than they actually are.
