Celtic will look to bounce back from their first home league defeat of the season as they welcome Hearts to Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this Saturday (kick off: 3pm).
Previously unbeaten at Parkhead this season, Brendan Rodgers’ side found themselves on the wrong side of a 3-2 defeat to rivals Rangers before the international break, but need just 11 more points from their final eight games to mathematically confirm themselves as champions for a fourth successive season.
It will be no easy task though, with Celtic potentially missing six first team stars for the game, while Hearts will head to Glasgow in a good run of form, having lost just two of their last 14 games in all competitions.
Ahead of the game at Celtic Park, The Scotsman has all the early team news:
