How to watch Celtic v Hearts
Celtic will look to bounce back to winning ways against Hearts this Saturday having had a fortnight to stew on their Old Firm defeat to Rangers.
Brendan Rodgers’ side remain 13 points clear at the top of the William Hill Premiership despite going down 3-2 at home to their Glasgow rivals prior to the international break.
The Hoops will be crowned champions for a fourth consecutive season if they win their next four fixtures, or possibly sooner if second-placed Rangers slip up.
Hearts will travel to Celtic Park with a belief that they can further upset the apple cart after climbing from 11th to sixth since the turn of the year.
Neil Critchley’s side have suffered derby setbacks of their own - losing back-to-back matches against Hibs - but with seven wins in their last 11 league matches, the Jambos are in good form and will be keen to aid their own push for Europe by taking a positive result from Parkhead.
