Celtic vs Hearts: TV details, how to watch, team news, is the Celtic game on television?

Celtic will host struggling Hearts at Celtic Park this weekend in the Scottish Premiership. Here’s where to watch the game live.

Celtic and Hearts return to Scottish Premiership action this week, with the champions looking to extend their perfect start to the season against their struggling opponents.

The home team enters the game in blistering form, having won all four of their opening league fixtures without conceding, whereas Steven Naismith’s Jambos are stuck in an early season rut, having lost three of their first four league games.

Brendan Rodgers’ side will be boosted by their dominant 3-0 win over Rangers before the international break, and new signings Ange Engels, Austin Trusty, and Luke McCowan are all fit and ready to play in their new colours. For their visitors, it has been a difficult season thus far, with a poor start to the season resulting in their failure to qualify for the Europa League, as well as their elimination from the Premier Sports Cup by Falkirk last month. They come into the game following a late 1-0 home loss to newly promoted Dundee United.

The Jambos can take inspiration from the fact that they were the only Scottish team to defeat the champions on home turf last year, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Lawrence Shankland and Stephen Kingsley in December 2023.

Celtic vs. Hearts Team News

Hoops centre back Cameron Carter-Vickers left Celtic’s 3-0 win over Rangers in a moonboot and did not travel to America to play in the USA’s international double header last week, while right-back Alistair Johnston was substituted in Canada’s 2-1 win over the Americans due to a “tight hamstring”. Fortunately, both are expected to be fit for the weekend’s game, though Polish defender Maik Nawrocki remains out.

Hearts will have midfielder Beni Baningime available for the first time this season after recovering from a calf injury, but they will be without Calem Nieuwenhof. Kenneth Vargas is also doubtful for the game due to a foot injury.
