Celtic will be back in action this Saturday as they gear up to face Hearts in a highly anticipated home fixture in the Scottish Premiership. Under the expert guidance of manager Brendan Rodgers, Celtic has been in scintillating form in the league, recording impressive wins against Kilmarnock, Hibs, St Mirren, and Rangers. With a perfect record of four wins out of four matches, Celtic currently sits comfortably at the top of the Scottish Premiership table with 12 points, 12 goals scored, and none conceded.
In contrast, Hearts have had a difficult start to their season, failing to secure a win and conceding seven goals in the process. With just one point on the board, Hearts find themselves near the bottom of the league standings, joint-second bottom along with Kilmarnock on goal difference. As they prepare to face the reigning champions, Hearts boss Steven Naismith expressed his nervousness about the upcoming match and emphasized the challenge his team will face against a dominant Celtic side.
Despite Brendan Rodgers’ impressive record against Hearts, having emerged victorious in 11 out of 15 encounters, Hearts will need to be on high alert and ensure they guard against Celtic’s attacking threat and formidable form. Naismith highlighted the importance of his team approaching the game with caution and being prepared to face the stern test posed by Celtic.
With memories of controversial VAR decisions in past matches still fresh, Rodgers and his team will be aiming for a smooth and successful game against Hearts to maintain their top position in the league standings by 5 pm on Saturday. As both teams gear up for this crucial match, the stage is set for an exciting clash between Celtic’s attacking prowess and Hearts’ determination to defy the odds and secure their first win of the season.
