Unbeaten Celtic travel to Edinburgh this weekend to do battle with Neil Critchley’s improving Hearts side in the Scottish Premiership.
Set to kick-off at 7.45pm on Saturday night, Brendan Rodgers’ side will look to make it six wins from their last six games in all competitions, while Hearts will hope to bounce back from their narrow 1-0 defeat to Rangers before the international break.
A comfortable 2-0 win for Celtic over Kilmarnock a fortnight ago saw them keep their place on the top of the Scottish Premiership table, but with Aberdeen levels on points, any slip-ups could prove costly. Just one point from the bottom of the league, their opponents Hearts are just as desperate to gain the three points as they look to navigate away from the relegation spots.
The game is all set up to be one of the clashes of the weekend, and The Scotsman has all the latest injury news for both sides ahead of the match:

6. Yutaro Oda (Hearts) - Doubt
The forward has been missing since 21 September with a hamstring issue and wasn't expected back until December at the earliest. However, Hearts boss Neil Critchley said he "has a chance" of being included in the squad this weekend. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
7. Adam Idah (Celtic) - Available
The £9.5 million summer signing has missed the last few weeks of action after suffering an ankle knock following a challenge from Liam Gordon against Motherwell. He was forced to pull out of the Republic of Ireland squad for last week's international fixtures, but was pictured back in full training with Celtic earlier this week. Expected to be available. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
8. Reo Hatate (Celtic) - Available
Like Kyogo, the midfielder had a long plane journey to Japan this week for his international team's fixtures against China and Indonesia. He played just 11 minutes of football though, so is fresh and ready to play in Edinburgh. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
