The champions were on top form and ripped the Jambos to shreds in Gorgie.
Champions Celtic underlined their quality with a dominant 4-1 win over Hearts to restore their seven-point lead over Rangers.
But Hearts bared their teeth and Alex Cochrane's stunning cross deserved better with Kenneth Vargas and Lawrence Shankland lurking at the back post. Vargas then stung the palms of Hart with a fierce effort from a tight angle minutes later. But any hope of a comeback was extinguished when Kyogo fired home from close distance after key contributions from Hatate and Palma in the build-up. The Japan hero stayed alert after O'Riley fluffed his kick and finished with aplomb.
