Hearts got us at a good time when they last visited Celtic Park in December.
We were having internal problems, with our Ultras were either banned or boycotting the match.
Hearts had lost 22 of their previous 23 league visits to Celtic Park from 2009.
In May 2009 Celtic bottled the league title, when we had goalless draws away to Hibs and then Hearts on the last day of the season at Celtic Park.
In the next 14.5 years,
Celtic won 22 home league games against Hearts out of their 23 visits.
The only other exception was another goalless draw in 2015.
Hopefully that was a freak result in December and Hearts continue to struggle in front of our brilliant Ultras supporters.

We definitely owe them one.

Hearts have also played at Ibrox 24 times in the league since 2009 and have came away undefeated 8 times.
That shows how much a graveyard Celtic Park has been for Hearts over the years, trying to pick up points.

Celtic will need to watch Shankland like a hawk.
Shankland has recently scored a goal every 68 minutes against Celtic, since he came on as a sub and scored a hat trick in our 4-3 victory.
( 6 goals in 409 minutes since )
He’s scored in his last 3 games against us.
Shankland has also scored in 4 out of his last 5 games against Celtic.
He was injured in a couple of meetings in between.

I see A J is mentioned as a top tackler in the Champions League .
The real interesting thing about that is that especially in recent weeks A J hasn’t made any of his trademark tackles . I think this must be because BR and coaches are correctly warning every player before domestic matches that any interaction with opponent will result in a free against Celtic and possible card.
I think it’s unfair to say things like Celtic midfield were bullied or that Celtic players can’t tackle, similarly Celtic team is soft, I think we all need 11 Celts on pitch for whole match.
