Hearts will aim to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership as they host Celtic in a mammoth clash at Tynecastle on Sunday (kick-off: 12pm).
The league leaders will look to make home advantage count, with the Jambos able to go eight points clear of Brendan Rodgers’ side with a win in Gorgie, while the visiting Celts will be hoping to cut the lead to just two points and inflict Hearts’ first league defeat of the season.
The visiting champions head to the capital on the back of an impressive 2-1 comeback win over Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday, though it came at a cost as head coach Rodgers saw his already lengthy injury list grow further. Forced into two first-half substitutions, he could be without up to four key players for the crucial game in Edinburgh. Long-term injury victim Jota remains sidelined.
As for the hosts, head coach Derek McInnes has no fresh injury concerns and is hoping to welcome back two of his summer signings for the game after they came through training unscathed this week.
