Hearts ended their chastening 14-year wait for a victory at Celtic Park last season. But it would take a major upset for Steven Naismith's struggling side to repeat their heroics this weekend.

The Jambos stunned the Parkhead faithful in December when goals from Lawrence Shankland and Stephen Kingsley secured a first win in Glasgow's east end since 2009 and went on to repeat the scoreline at home later in the campaign. However, the Tynecastle outfit have looked a shadow of themselves this term amid a horrendous nine-game winless run. In truth, a trip to the home of the champions is one Naismith could do without as pressure mounts on the under-fire boss.

There's no love lost between both clubs either and Celtic fans will be expecting Brendan Rodgers' men to continue their perfect start to the campaign with another routine three points. It's an ideal warm-up for Celts as they prepare to kick off their Champions League campaign against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday and here, Football Scotland tells you everything you need to know.
