Celtic will host Hearts at the Celtic Park on Wednesday in another round of the Scottish Premiership campaign.
The home side are enjoying a brilliant run of form at the moment and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of their 53rd league title. They picked up a 5-1 comeback win over St. Mirren in their last game, scoring all five goals in the second half after heading into the break a goal down and a man up.
Celtic sit atop the league table with 76 points from 27 games. They will now be looking to continue their strong run of form when they play this week.
Hearts have had a largely solid league campaign and are now targeting a top-three finish at the end of the season. They returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 3-0 victory over St. Johnstone featuring a brace from Josh Ginnelly and a second-half strike from former Peterborough United man Jorge Grant.
The visitors sit third in the Premiership standings with 45 points picked so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally come Wednesday.
