Now that the boring international nonsense is out the way, it’s back to the real stuff this weekend.

Celtic are in action against Hearts at Celtic Park with a score to settle.

Last time out at Parkhead, the Hoops lost 3-2 to Rangers in what was a poor display from Brendan Rodgers’ side. And the manager will be demanding a reaction from his squad.

The fans will, too, and with the game coming at home this weekend it is the ideal opportunity to roar back with three points to keep the lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table secure.
