CELTIC has been gifted a massive chance to gain a lead at the top of the SPFL table after The Rangers dropped points in the capital on Saturday afternoon.
Hibs hosted the Ibrox club, and despite going behind twice, Lee Johnson’s side managed to hold on and share the points with Giovanni Van Brunkhorst’s men.
Celtic face Hearts on Sunday afternoon, hosting the side who finished in the ‘best of the rest’ place last season.
If Postecoglou’s side manages to secure a win, they will gain a lead at the top of the table and sit two points clear of their rivals.
If Celtic maintain their perfect record, they will sit at least two points clear heading into the first derby of the season in September. The Rangers have a tough run of games, with trips to Aberdeen and Hearts lined up after the clash at Celtic Park.
The Ibrox club’s week could still get worse, with a win needed in Holland against a good PSV side to secure Champions League group stage football.
