Prediction: 2-0
Hearts
Celtic will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they take on Hearts in the Premiership round 35. The Hoops survived Dundee FC at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Saturday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be James Forrest, who scored a brace against Dundee, while all McCarthy, Maeda, and Montgomery are out of contention with injuries.
The Jambos, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches, with the team cementing their spot in top three. As Celtic want this win more than Hearts, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Glasgow. The likes of Halkett, Boyce, and Haring should miss out through injuries for the visiting team, while Calem Nieuwenhof is a major doubt.
