Hearts vs Celtic Team News & Lineups
Both managers face significant selection headaches. Hearts are dealing with key injuries to their midfield engine room, while Celtic must manage fatigue after their European exploits on Thursday night.
Hearts Team News
The Jambos have been dealt a double injury blow with dynamic midfielder Cammy Devlin and talismanic striker Lawrence Shankland both ruled out for 6-8 weeks. Additionally, Beni Baningime is suspended following a red card.
Despite these absences, Derek McInnes will rally his troops. Blair Spittal is expected to pull the strings in midfield, while Yutaro Oda (or Kenneth Vargas) will need to step up in attack. The defensive unit, led by Craig Halkett and Frankie Kent (or Findlay), will be crucial in repelling Celtic’s forward line.
Predicted Hearts XI (4-4-2):
Schwolow; Steinwender, Halkett, Findlay, Milne; Altena, Spittal, Magnusson, Kyziridis; Braga, Kabore.
Celtic Team News
Martin O’Neill has his own concerns. Striker Johnny Kenny picked up a calf strain in Bologna and is a major doubt. However, there is positive news with Kelechi Iheanacho returning to training. New signing Tomas Cvancara is also available and could make his debut, potentially off the bench.
Reo Hatate and Callum McGregor will anchor the midfield, while the pace of Daizen Maeda and Yang Hyun-Jun on the wings will be Celtic’s primary weapon to stretch the Hearts defense.
Predicted Celtic XI (4-3-3):
Schmeichel; Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Hyun-Jun, Kyogo, Maeda.
