Celtic FC vs Heart of Midlothian Predictions: Celtic FC Line-up

Scottish champions Celtic will take on Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park in their final Scottish Premiership game of the season on Sunday afternoon.

The Hoops have already won the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish League Cup this season, and have reached the final of the Scottish Cup, where they’ll face Hearts next weekend.

A win for Hearts at Celtic Park will give them a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the Scottish Cup final.

Team News

Odsonne Edouard, Jonny Hayes and Mikael Lustig are likely to miss the game against Hearts on Sunday. Dedryck Boyata and Ryan Christie are already sidelined with injury.

Probable Celtic XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Manager: Neil Lennon

Scott Bain (GK)

Bain has been Celtic’s no.1 since the turn of the year and that won’t change on Sunday.

Anthony Ralston (RB)

With Lustig out injured, Ralston could be handed a rare start at right-back.

Jozo Simunovic (CB)

Simunovic has done very well in the last few games and is set to keep his place in Celtic’s defence.

Kristoffer Ajer (CB)

Ajer has been a regular at the back for the Hoops in the last couple of months. He is a certain starter against Hearts.

Jeremy Toljan (LB)

Toljan has disappointed since joining on loan from Dortmund in January. However, he is expected to start at left-back.

Olivier Ntcham (CM)

Lennon could hand Ntcham a start ahead of Brown in the middle of the park at the weekend. If that happens, the Frenchman should look to repay the manager’s faith.

Callum McGregor (CM)

Celtic’s best player of the season, McGregor is an undoubted starter in the final league game of the season.

James Forrest (RW)

With his pace and dribbling skills, Forrest could give the Hearts defenders a tough time at Celtic Park.

Tom Rogic (CAM)

Rogic has endured an injury-hit campaign which has affected his productivity for the Hoops. Now fully fit, though, he will start in his preferred no.10 role against Hearts.

Sinclair has blown hot and cold throughout the season for Celtic. However, he’ll look to finish the campaign on a high.

Oliver Burke (ST)

With Edouard out injured, Burke will be his natural replacement for the no.9 role.

Rohan Sengupta

Football is something I simply cannot live without and writing, discussing and analyzing the game is what I do 24*7.
