Kingsley embarrassed by 'calamity of errors' at Celtic

Defender Stephen Kingsley is determined Hearts' "calamity of errors" at Celtic on Sunday does not have a lasting effect on the team.

Wouter Vrancken's team were dismantled by the Scottish Premiership champions and now face a difficult away game against Mohamed Salah's Trabzonspor in the Conference League.

The trip to Turkey on Thursday gives Hearts the chance to show they have learnt the lessons from the 7-1 mauling in Glasgow.

When asked about his emotions after the game, Kingsley said: "Embarrassment, with the first half in terms of the way we lost the goals. We shot ourselves in the foot countless times.

"Celtic were clinical, fair play to them, but I just felt like we played right into their hands. We gave them exactly what they wanted. Made too many mistakes. Two set-pieces to start off, it kills you straight away.

"It was just a calamity of errors. After that, every error we made seemed to be exposed. They were good at it. Obviously, they're a great counter-attacking team.

"That's what's most frustrating about it, that we played into their hands."

Kingsley captained Hearts on Sunday and says the emphasis is on him and the other experienced players in the squad to steady the ship.

"It's one of those results that if you linger on it, then you can let it fester and seep into future performances," the 32-year-old said.

"But we can't have that. It's up to myself as one of the more experienced players to make sure that we try to put this to bed and move on to the next game, because the next one's not going to get any easier."
