Celtic will be looking to register their sixth straight Scottish Premiership win when they take on Hearts at Tynecastle Park on Sunday.
Given Rangers' recent win over Hibernian, the Bhoys are tasked to reclaim a seven-point lead at the summit over their arch-rivals. Brendan Rodgers' side last defeated Kilmarnock 3-1 in their last league fixture.
Whereas, after a 2-2 draw with Hibernian, Steven Naismith's side will be eyeing to close down their four-point gap towards third-placed St. Mirren.
