Hearts 2 Celtic 0 LIVE as Lawrence Shankland scores and this time it definitely counts

The Premiership title pendulum could swing back in favour of the holders on another dramatic weekend of cinch action.

Celtic can hit the summit just a fortnight after surrendering top spot to Rangers, who lost a first home game under Philippe Clement on Saturday as Motherwell threw a spanner in the works.

Gers will be hoping Hearts can do similar this afternoon, although Steven Naismith’s side were battered at Ibrox last Saturday before an unconvincing midweek derby draw at home to Hibs.

By contrast, Brendan Rodgers’ side turned in their best performance of the season, skelping Dundee 7-1 with six of the goals coming before half-time.

Tynecastle is a different prospect than at home under the lights at Parkhead, but with such a big win under the belts and the incentive to retake the lead in the title race, expect a fired up Hoops to arrive in the capital.

At this stage of the season, it doesn’t matter who scores the goals – or whether they look like Ange Postecoglou’s or not – and whoever gets the nod on Gorgie will be expected to produce the goods. We’ll have all the build-up, action and reaction LIVE on the blog.
