Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has to choose a team with limited availability. Michael Smith (Back trouble), John Souttar (Ankle Injury), Craig Halkett (Ankle Injury) and Beni Baningime (Cruciate Ligament Injury) can’t be considered.

We feel that Hearts are dangerous enough to find the net against this Celtic outfit, although that probably won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 win for Celtic at the end of this one. Looking forward to this.
