Celtic Park is set to host a crucial match between Celtic and Hearts, with the potential to impact the title race significantly. With just a few games remaining in the season, Celtic holds a slim three point lead over their rivals. However, Hearts have already proven themselves as formidable opponents by securing victories over Celtic in both their previous encounters.
The Scottish Football Association has appointed Kevin Clancy as the main referee for the match, with VAR assistance from Nick Walsh. Previous clashes between these two teams have been marred by controversial VAR decisions, sparking debates on the role of officiating in determining the outcome of the title race.
As Celtic looks to avenge their past defeats, they must be cautious not to fall foul of VAR interventions. Hearts’ striker Lawrence Shankland poses a major threat to Celtic’s defense, requiring a strong performance from the home team to shift the momentum in their favor.
With the title potentially hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on Celtic Park this Saturday. The outcome of this match could ultimately decide the fate of the Scottish Premiership title.
