CELTIC take on Hearts this afternoon at Celtic Park hoping to open a gap at the top of the SPFL with a victory against The Jambos.
Hibernian left it late against a nine man Rangers side to rescue a point for Lee Johnson’s men and in doing so offered Celtic the opportunity to creat a two point gap with a victory this afternoon.
Celtic have three wins from three so far in the SPFL. One home victory and two away day wins, scoring ten goals and conceding just one in the process.
Ange Postecoglou almost has his entire squad to choose from after Reo Hatate trained all week and Carl Starfelt returning from an injury picked up on international duty.
Unlike our opponents this afternoon, Celtic don’t have any midweek European qualifiers to worry about. The Hoops are already in the draw for the Champions league while Hearts will play Zurich in their Europa League qualifier on Thursday evening. Robbie Neilson’s men trail 2-1 for the first leg but will take the game to Tynecastle hoping to cause an upset.
Ange has the luxury of picking his strongest side without having to worry about qualifiers and that’s why we see a very strong side out at Celtic Park this afternoon. Here is the team below:
