There is a lot riding on this weekend’s game for Celtic and Hearts.
Both know that if one wins, it could be a morale-damaging defeat for the other side and could even cost them in the title race.
Derek McInnes appears to be feeling the pressure after Hearts dropped points again in midweek.
Their trip to Parkhead looks very different compared to what it could’ve been a few weeks ago.
As well as an upturn in form for the Hoops, there is also a new manager in the dugout as Wilfried Nancy prepares to take charge for the first time.
What do you think the score will be against Hearts?
Derek McInnes on facing Wilfried Nancy
Celtic Park is expected to be rocking for the visit of Hearts for many reasons.
Nancy’s arrival will be one of them and everyone watching the game will be waiting to see what sort of formation, style and personality he will bring.
It makes the preparation for McInnes much harder, but he said the prospect of facing the unknown is something he can deal with.
He told the Hearts website: “We’ve done this before, when you play against teams with a new manager. He’s got a set system in place that he likes to play, which is different to the Celtic system that they’ve been playing for a while now.
“So, whether he changes that in a short space of time, who knows? But we’ll try and pick a team to deal with every eventuality. And we obviously, we always look at the opposition, but we’ve got to try and concentrate on our own work.
