Brendan Rodgers has made two changes to the Celtic side that beat Kilmarnock before the international break for tonight’s match away to Hearts.
Kyogo Furuhashi replaces Adam Idah in attack with Cameron Carter-Vickers replacing Liam Scales at the back to resume his partnership with Auston Trusty.
A win or draw tonight will put Celtic clear at the top of the table after Aberdeen lost 2-1 away to St Mirren, their first SPFL Premiership defeat of the season.
Hearts go into the match in 11th place in the Premiership table but have shown signs of improvement under Neil Critchley who has taken over from Steven Naismith.
Celtic’s last domestic defeat was at Tynecastle in March but with results elsewhere there is every incentive to go for the win tonight ahead of the visit from Club Brugge to Celtic Park on Wednesday night.
