How to watch Hearts vs Celtic: TV details, live stream and kick-off time for Premiership cracker
How you can follow this weekend’s action between Celtic and Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts
Celtic have a golden opportunity to close the gap on Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts this weekend when the two sides meet for the first time this season.
The reigning champions have fallen five points adrift of the high-flying Jambos, who remain the only club in the league yet to be beaten. A win for Celtic will narrow the margin to just two points and completely reopen the title race, but a result in the opposite direction could put Brendan Rodgers’ side in a concerning situation. The Hoops have been in midweek European action before they face Hearts, while the opposition have time to rest from their latest Premiership win.
