Hearts Vs Celtic​

Celtic will be hoping to maintain there excellent run of form in a tough fixture against Hearts at Tynecastle. Celtic have been in fine scoring form of late winning the previous two games 4-0 against Hamilton and Falkirk respectively to maintain the three point advantage over Rangers at the top of the SPL.

Georgios Samaras is out for Celtic with a thigh strain picked up against Falkirk at the weekend. Scott Brown, Darren O'Dea and Stephen McManus are all doubtful after also picking up knocks during the 4-0 win over Falkirk on Wednesday.

Paul Hartley is set to return from a hamstring injury but Shaun Maloney and John Kennedy are not ready despite resuming training.

Hearts striker Gary Glen is battling to feature after suffering an ankle knock on reserve duty this week, but otherwise manager Csaba Laszlo has a number of selection options.

However, midfielder Laryea Kingston is unavailable because of a hamstring problem and is still two weeks away from training. Defender Jason Thomson is also out with a similar hamstring injury to Kingston.

With the split drawing nearer it is vital for both teams to keep picking up points as Celtic look to claim their fourth SPL title in a row and Hearts look to return to European football.
