Celtic come into this game with Hearts knowing that a win would all but secure them the Scottish Premiership once again. They would have a six point lead over Rangers, with just two games left, and they have a vastly superior goal difference.

The side have enjoyed their season, suffering only three losses all season and are now unbeaten in 29 league games. The return of Kyogo Furuhashi has bolstered the attack of the side and they now have four players on nine goals in the league this season.

Hearts are on a really good run of form themselves at the moment, going eight league games without a loss and winning five of those. They find themselves third overall and have already secured qualification to the Europa League for next season.

They have scored well but have been reliant on Liam Boyce, who has scored 10 so far this season. They’ve been good defensively, conceding an average of a goal a game and have only conceded six games in their last nine games.

Celtic vs Hearts match stats

Celtic have been in scintillating form in the Scottish Premiership, winning 14 of their last 16 games and only losing three times this season. They’ve scored 81 goals in 35 games, well over two goals a game and conceded just 20 times.

Hearts have had a reasonable season, although they remain some distance behind Celtic and Rangers, in third place. They’ve conceded at a rate of a goal a game, with their defence excelling, but have scored well with 51 goals in 35 games.
