Celtic travel to Tynecastle on Sunday to face Heart of Midlothian in a match that could have major ramifications concerning their Scottish Premiership title bid.

The Bhoys will be keen to record their third successive victory on league duty; however, Brendan Rodgers and company know the threat that their opposition carries from lived experience.

In their two league meetings this campaign, Celtic and Hearts have one victory apiece, with the last contest at Parkhead back in December ending in a 2-0 triumph for Steven Naismith’s visitors.

Nevertheless, there is a feeling of renewed optimism starting to creep in among Hoops supporters, who enjoyed a 7-1 triumph over Dundee in their last outing.

Tomoki Iwata, Hyunjun Yang, and Adam Idah have all added freshness to a previously jaded-looking outfit; however, they are in sink-or-swim territory, requiring every player to put their best foot forward once the action commences in Edinburgh.

Fans unable to attend can watch all the action live on Sky Sports Main Event (and Sky Sports Football); meanwhile, LiveSoccerTV has full coverage details for those keen to tune in from across the globe.

Kick-off is at 12 pm sharp, and Sky Sports will commence their live broadcast from the capital at 11 am.
