League leaders Celtic welcome Hearts to Glasgow in an eagerly anticipated Scottish Premiership encounter on Sunday afternoon.
Barring a 1-0 defeat to Old Firm rivals Rangers before the international break, Celtic have enjoyed a fruitful start to the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership, winning seven of their eight top-flight clashes.
They face a Hearts side who ran them close to the title last term, and Wouter Vrancken will be desperate to bridge the five point gap that currently exists between the two teams in the league.
Martin O'Neill has made four changes to the Celtic XI that fell to a 4-1 defeat against Benfica in the Europa League in midweek.
Liam Scales replaces Auston Trusty in defence. Three changes in attack see Benjamin Nygren, Haissem Hassan and Callum Osmand replace Sebastian Tounekti, Oliver Sorensen and Kasper Hogh.
Vrancken has made three alterations to the Hearts team that drew 1-1 against FC Nordsjælland in the Conference League on Thursday.
Christian Borchgrevink, Harry Milne and James Wilson come out for Sabri Guendouz, Jordi Altena and Oisin McEntee.
Confirmed Celtic lineup
Viljami Sinisalo, Colby Donovan, Dane Murray, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor, Mika Baur, Benjamin Nygren, Haissem Hassan, Callum Osmand, Camilo Durán.
Confirmed Hearts lineup
Beau Reus, Stephen Kingsley, Malachi Fagan-Walcott, Jamie McCart, Sabri Guendouz, Jordi Altena, Oisin McEntee, Laurent Mendy, Calvin Miller, Cláudio Braga, Josh McPake.
