Ian Cathro plays down Bjorn Johnsen fracas as Hearts face Celtic
The Hearts manager Ian Cathro tried to play down the dressing-room fracas that captured headlines in the wake of Wednesday night’s defeat by St Johnstone and switch focus to their final league match of the season, a daunting trip to Celtic Park to face the champions as they seek to make history and complete their “invincible” league campaign.
He claimed to be bemused by the attention the argument has attracted and said that his relationship with the summer signing remains unaltered.

There were a lot of us not particularly pleased with 20 to 25 minutes towards the end of that first half. We were not happy about it. How that has developed into a bit of story, I’m not really sure why. Bjorn has trained well and he is focused and ready to be available to play on Sunday.
