Chapter 309 Redemption

[32]

The roar of the Hearts fans still echoed around the stadium as Celtic lined up for the restart. Edouard stood over the ball, his expression stern, ready to make amends for the chances he'd missed earlier. He could vaguely hear the shout of Bain telling his defenders to remain sharp as he clapped his gloves. Despite feeling like the world was against him Edouard remained professional and passed the ball back to the feet of Rogic.

Rogic controlled the ball, glancing up to survey his options. The Hearts players had already fallen back into a compact shape, clogging the midfield and forcing Celtic to work harder for space. It was only their striker who put in effort to win the ball as he came charging towards him. Rogic felt the pressure building as the Hearts striker closed in, his boots pounding the turf.
