Celtic will look to cement their place at the top of the Scottish Premiership this weekend as they welcome title rivals Hearts to Parkhead on Sunday afternoon (kick-off: 3pm).
Martin O’Neill’s men enter the game five points clear of their Tynecastle rivals, but could start the game in second place, with Rangers playing a day earlier. However, after losing four of their last five games in all competitions, the pressure is on.
As for their visitors, Hearts head to Glasgow for the first time since the final day of last season, when two late Celtic goals snatched the title from their grasp and kept the trophy in the east end of Glasgow. As they return this weekend, supporters will be eyeing revenge as they look to drag themselves back into the title race.
