What channel is Hearts v Celtic on? TV details, live stream, kick-off time for possible Celtic title win

Celtic can clinch the Scottish Premiership title with a victory at Hearts on Sunday.

A 13-point advantage over second placed Rangers means the champions-elect can wrap up their second successive league crown – and their 11th in 12 seasons – with four matches to spare. Celtic could even secure the trophy if they draw or lose should Rangers fail to beat Aberdeen at Ibrox.

It would represent a fourth trophy for Ange Postecoglou out of five since his arrival at Parkhead in the summer of 2021 with only Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup final standing between the Australian and a historic treble.

Hearts came out on top in Postecoglou’s first league match as Celtic boss, in July 2021, but since then the head to head record has been very one-sided. The teams have faced off eight times in all competitions, with the Glasgow outfit winning all eight, netting 22 goals and conceding eight.
