Celtic faced an early setback in their match against Hearts, thanks to an unexpected own goal by defender Dane Murray. The young player was filling in for the injured Cameron Carter-Vickers when the incident occurred.
Dane Murray’s Unfortunate Own Goal
The match, held on October 26, 2025, saw Hearts take the lead early. The opportunity arose after a strong effort from Lawrence Shankland, who aimed a strike towards the six-yard box. A brilliant save from Celtic’s Kasper Schmeichel kept the ball out initially. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, Murray misjudged the ball during his clearance, resulting in a volley that ultimately found its way into the side netting.
Celtic’s Response
Despite the early challenge, Celtic regrouped quickly. Skipper Callum McGregor orchestrated a well-executed move that allowed his team to equalize shortly after conceding the goal. This response highlighted Celtic’s resilience in high-pressure situations.
