Celtic vs Hearts Preview
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Motherwell, Celtic return to Premiership action aiming to retain top spot and bounce back from a heavy 4-1 defeat to Benfica. Alistair Johnston, Yang Hyun-Jun and Cameron Carter-Vickers remain sidelined, but Martin O’Neill has plenty of depth to call upon. Camilo Duran is one to watch after finding the net regularly. Celtic have averaged 1.50 goals per game at home in the supplied statistics, and will need greater attacking efficiency against a dangerous opponent.
Hearts have experienced mixed fortunes recently, losing to Falkirk, drawing with Kilmarnock and thrashing St. Mirren 5-1 before sharing the spoils with Nordsjaelland in midweek. Tom Renaud, Craig Halkett and Blair Spittal are among the visitors’ injury absentees. The Jambos have nevertheless been productive going forward, scoring freely and showing they can trouble stronger sides.
Considering Celtic’s home advantage and superior head-to-head record, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 8.5 corners (attacking style of play from both sides).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 15:00.
